ON THE UREDINEAE PARASITIC ON THE JAPANESE GRAMINEAE. 215 
Remarks. Busse (i. 2.) described this species most fully in his 
papers on sorghum-rust in German East Africa, and supplemented thereby 
the incomplete description of Cooke (1). 
The host-plants of this species hitherto known are Andropogon Sor- 
ghum, A. Halepensis, Zea Mays and Pennisehim typhoideum. The occur- 
rence of this rust fungus on the first mentioned host-plant in our country, 
P. HENNINGS (i) asserts by examining the specimen collected in Tokyo, but 
DlETEL (8) is of opinion that Puccinia purpurea of P. HENNINGS may not be 
different from his Puccinia Nakanishikii.

Remarks. Dietel (9) regarded this species as a new one, separating 
it from Puccinia Arundinellae Barcl., by its slender teleutospores. He based 
this determination on the specimen collected by Prof. S. Kusano in Tokyo 
in 1904. 
Previous to this period Dietel (6) identified the specimen on the same 
host-plant collected by Prof. S. KUSANO in 1899 at Mt. Myogi, Prov. Kozuke, 
to be Puccinia gramiifis. 
In 1902, P. HENNINGS (3) also noticed the occurrence of Puccinia 
graminis on Arundinella anomala, which was collected by Mr. T. YOSHI- 
NAGA in 1901, at Akatouchi-toge, Prov. Tosa. 
Thus according to the European authorities, there seem to exist two
