NOTES ON CALIFORNIAN UREDINE/C AND DESCRIP¬ 
TIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 
W. R. DUDLEY AND C. H. THOMPSON. 
Puccinia anachoreta Hark. Bull. Calif. Acad. Sc. 1134. 
Feb. 1884. 
II. Hypophyllous, sori scattered, sparse or abundant, small, 
.5-2 mm. long, oblong, surrounded by the ruptured epidermis, 
light yellow; spores globose, 18-23 [i in diameter, walls rather 
thick, finely echinulate. 
III. Hypophyllous, sori like those of II but separate from 
them though on the same leaf, very dark brown; spores dark 
brown, broadly elliptical, not at all constricted, or slightly so, at 
the septum, the two cells of equal size with rounded base and 
apex, walls rather thick, uniformly covered with minute hyaline 
tubercles; 29-33 x 34"4°/C pedicels hyaline, equaling the spore 
length, fragile, breaking away near the spore. 
II. III. On leaves of Calochortus albus. Santa Cruz. 
May 1900. (Thompson). 
This material was compared with the type material in the 
herbarium of the California Academy of Science and proved to 
be the same species with some variation in the size of the teleu- 
tospores. The original description gives the size as 20-24 x 28- 
42 fx but on measuring some of the type material we found the 
spores to be 27.5-32.5 x 31.2-37.5 /*. “Constricted” at the sep¬ 
tum is certainly the exception and not the rule in both the type 
and in our own material. This adds the uredo stage to the pub¬ 
lished description. 
Puccinia nodosa Ell. & Hark. Bull. Calif. Acad. Sc. 1127. 
Feb. 1884. 
I. Amphigenous; spots oblong, 1-4 mm. long, conspicuous, 
orange-yellow; aecidia few, irregularly collected in groups, small, 
short, rising but slightly above the longitudinally split epidermis, 
borders very irregularly lacerated, not recurved; spores mostly 
globose, a few irregularly angular oblong to obovate, wall med¬ 
ium thick, very minutely tuberculate, 25-37.5 x 25-37.5^. 
II. Amphigenous; scattered, small, oblong. 1 mm. long, 
pustulate, opening by a single split in the epidermis parallel with 
the leaf, the epidermis crowded back by the protruding spores 
but not ruptured, dark chestnut-brown; spores globose, oblong to 
obovate, walls minutely and closely echinulate, yellow, contents 
finely granular, orange colored, germ-pores several, scattered over 
the spore, 30-32.5 x 30-42.5^. 
III. Amphigenous; sori mostly .5-1.5 mm. long, rarely 4 
mm. long, by . 5 mm. wide, pustulate, opening by a single longi¬ 
tudinal split, the epidermis crowded to either side, as a wall, by 
the protruding spores, black; spores mostly oblong to short ob-
