By H. and P. Sydow 
{Berlin, Germany) 
PUCCINIA PAULLULA Syd. sp. nov. 
Maculis epiphyllis, indeterminatis, flavis; soris teleutospori- 
feris hypophyllis, irregulariter vel plus minus aequaliter den- 
siusculeque distributis, subinde totam folii superficiem vel 
magnam ejus partem obtegentibus, minutis, vix 0.33 mm diam., 
sed saepe confluentibus et tunc usque 1 mm diam., compactius- 
culis, flavo-brunneis, tandem obscurioribus ; uredosporis immixtis 
plerumque perfecte globosis, brunneis, modice obtuseque echi- 
nulatis, 20-26 /x diam., episporio 1.5 y. crasso; teleutosporis ellip- 
soideis, utrinque late rotundatis, medio valde constrictis, levibus, 
flavo-brunneis, ad apicem non vel levissime incrassatis, septo 
saepe oblique vel longitudinaliter posito, 20-24 y longis, 18-21 y 
latis, episporio tenui, loculis facillime secedentibus ; pedicello 
sporam aequante vel superante, hyalino, deciduo.

Luzon, Province of Laguna, Los Banos, C. F. Baker 85, September 25, 
1912. 
The species is very well marked by the comparatively small teleutospores 
and the very regular size and shape of both the uredospores and teleuto- 
spores. The thin epispore is of equal thickness in those teleutospores 
provided with an horizontal septum, but it is usually slightly thickened 
at the apex in such spores as are obliquely or vertically septate. 
MYCOSPHAERELLA ALOCASIAE Syd. sp. nov. 
Maculis amphigenis, orbicularibus vel suborbicularibus, 2-6 
mm diam., zona fusco-purpurea limitatis, intus sordide albis; 
peritheciis in centro macularum dense et numerose aggregatis, 
globosis, atris, 60-80 y diam., poro ca. 18-25 y lato pertusis, 
contextu fuligineo ; ascis fasciculatis, saccatis usque cylindraceis, 
35-52 y longis, 10-16 y latis, octosporis, aparaphysatis ; sporidiis 
distichis vel tristichis, cylindraceis, medio 1-septatis, non con- 
strictis, utrinque obtusis, hyalinis, 16-18 y longis, 3-5 y latis.
