ON THE UREDINEAE PARASITIC ON THE JAPANESE GRAM 1 NEAE. 205 
All these relations remain unsettled so long as the infection experiments 
are not carefully performed. Meanwhile, I am compelled to adopt the old 
collective name of Puccinia sessile's in this paper.

Remarks. Dietel (6) regarded this species to be a new one remarking 
on the shortness of the teleutosori, on their arrangement in lines and on the 
larger size of the uredospore. 
From the related species Pttccieeia himalensis , this fungus may easily be 
distinguished by the absence of a crown at the apex of its teleutospore. 
From Puccinia culmicola, it is distinguished at once by the naked sori of 
the former. 
Dietel (6) describes the uredosori as hypophyllous, and the teleutosori 
as epiphyllous ; but by examining the same type specimen, I observed that 
uredosori are epiphyllous and the teleutosori are hypophyllous. 
19. Puccinia Bromi-japonicae S. lto. n. sp.— (PI. XI. Fig. 4.) 
Uredosori , epiphyllous ; minute, oblong or linear, scattered or gregarious, 
often confluent, yellowish brown. Uredospores globose, subglobose or 
ellipsoidal, densely echinulate, yellowish, 22 — 30 x 18 — 25 / 1 > epispore thin; 
germ-pores numerous, inconspicuous ; paraphyses absent. 
Teleutosori , hypophyllous or on the sheath ; small, oblong or linear, 
scattered or gregarious, often confluent, always covered by the 
epidermis, somewhat pulvinate, compact, conspicuous, blackish ; surrounded 
by the thick bed of brown paraphyses. Teleutospores oblong-clavate, or 
oblong, apex thickened (8 — 10 p), obtusely pointed or rounded, rarely
