REMARKS. I agree with DlETEL (8) in his view as to the wide varia- 
tion in color (from light brown to deep chestnut-brown) of the paraphyses, 
and also as to the deeper color of the pedicel at its upper portion. 
The teleutosori of this species have never described. I was able, how- 
ever, to observe that stage, on the specimen collected by Prof. K. MlYABE 
in 1882 at Mt. Nokogiri, Prov. Awa. The teleutosori are hypophyllous, 
small, oblong or linear on brownish discolored spots, and are scattered or 
gregarious, sometimes confluent. They are naked, with torn epidermis, 
somewhat pulvinate, and blakish chestnut-browm in color. 
In 1906, SYDOW and Butler (i) reported this species to be parasitic on 
the same host-plant in India and they have noted that the teleutospore of 
the Indian species has a thicker wall than that of the Japanese species.
