ON THE URED 1 NEAE PARASITIC ON THE JAPANESE GRAMINEAE. 219 
Remarks. The characteristic of the present species is, as its specific 
name indicates, a deep reddish color of pedicels of its teleutospores. 
This is one of the two species of Puccinia hitherto known to be parasitic 
on lmperata arundinacca var. Koenigii, another species being Puccinia 
Euialiae. 
According to my own observations, the maximum length of its teleuto- 
spores is 42 4, while DlETEL ( 6 ) limitted it to 33 [jl.

Remarks. Comparing the specimens of this fungus with the description 
by DlETEL, I feel it necessary to make the two following remarks. 
1. Although in the original description of the present species by 
DlETEL, the sorus is said to be epiphyllous, my own observation shows, the 
fact to be just the opposite. The type specimen as well as all other speci- 
mens I have examined present invariably the hypophyllous sori. 
2. In regard to the size of the uredospore, there are some differences
