Genus 13. CRONAItTIUM. Fr. 
Uredospores included in brown pseudoperidia, teleutospores

with an apical pore, or variedly lacerated, brown ; uredospores 
ovoid or ellipsoid, sphasroid, echinulate, at first pedicellate, 16-32 x 
12-18 p, pale orange; columella of the teleutospore sori tapering, 
2 m.in. long, simple, rarely forked, teleutospores oblong, obtuse,

Genus 14. FTJCCINIA. Pers. 
jEcidia, spermogones, and uredospores as in Uromyces; teleuto- 
spores transversely uniseptate (rarely biseptate), germinating 
from a pore in each cell, crowded in flattened or pulvinate sori 
(commonly) pulverulent, at first covered by the epidermis ; 
sporidiola ovoid or kidney- shaped, usually hyaline.

Spermogones disposed in small clusters. .ZEcidia crowded or 
orbicular, or congregated in broadly expanded, oblong spots ; 
pseudoperidia cylindrical, plane, margin white, laciniate ; secidio- 
spores orange-red ; uredospores crowded in minute, rounded, 
chestnut-brown sori, globose, shortly elliptic or ovate, 22-26 x 
17-22 p, sparingly and minutely aculeolate, epispore subhyaline; 
teleutospores congregated in roundish, prominent, scattered, or
