PUCCINIA ON THE JAPANESE UMBELLIFER/E. 
109 
Formosa. — (Tashiro. June, 1887. fide. Kusano). 
Distrib. Europe and Asia (Asia minor, India, China and Japan). 
Remarks. The forms on B. multinervis and sachalinense belong to 
the Type A of LlNDROTH, the teleutospores being broad and short elliptical, 
and provided with a thicker and darker membrane. The form on B. 
falcatuvi may belong to the Type B of LlNDROTH, but as I have 
not been able to examine the specimens myself, I can not here state with 
certainty. 
At Izumizawa in the Province of Oshima, Hokkaido, Prof. Miyabe 
collected on July 13, 1890, on Bupleurum sachalinense an Acidium which 
differs in many points from the ordinary form. The aecidia are gregarious 
on the under surface of the leaf, forming small irregularly roundish groups, 
1 -2 mm. or sometimes 3 mm. in diameter ; and spermogonia are present 
both on the upper and lower surfaces of the discolored spots intermixing 
with the aecidia. The aecidiospores are globose or subglobose, thicker 
walled, verrucose, darker colored, and 22-25//. in diameter. This Acidium 
may safely be considered as a new form-species, and we will designate it 
/Ecidium Bupleuri-sachalinensis .
