Dr. Winter gives in this Century 43 specimens of American species. 
J.(atin descriptions accompany the following new species: Aecidium 
Alliicolum, Winter, on Allium stellatum, Missouri; Uromyces affinis, 
Winter, I and III, on Hypoxis erecta, Missouri; L'zoiiia (?) inteiualis, 
Winter, Brazil; Pleospora pezlzoides, Cesati, Italy; Valsaria stellulata , 
Romell, Sweden; Endoxyla Populi, Romell, Sweden ; Uredo tiavidula, 
Winter, Brazil; Blitridium {?] subtropicum, Winter, Europe; Meliola 
Xiessleana, Winter, Europe; Xectria aureola, Winter, parasitic on t!i e 
Meliola Xiessleana. 
The two .Vmerican species are described as follows : — 
O Aecidium Alliicolum, Winter.—Pseudoperidia dense stipata, 
acervulos elongates, plerumgue caulem ambieiites ssepeque eum parum 
tumefacientes formantia, breve cylnidrica, sursum ssepe parum dilatata, 
marquine crenato, subinciso, erecto vel parum recuiw ito, albida, ca. .5 
millim. alta. Spone rotundato-angulatse, aurantiac;e, 21—24 /idiam., 
minutissime et dense verruculosie. Ad folia scapos'iue vivos Allii 
stellati. Perryville, Mo., Mai, 18S8, leg. C. II. Demetrio. 
(5 Uromyces AFFINIS, Winter.—I Aecidium: Pseudoperidia gregaria, 
acervolos rotundatos vel plus minusve elongatos, smpe laxos formantia, 
brevissime cylindrica vel fere patellaeformia, mirgine inciso, erecto, 
albida ca. .2b millim. alta. Sporm rotiindato-angulatie, aurantiacm, 
minutissime verruculosai, 17—^23 y- diam. — III, Teleutospone: AcMwuli 
sparsi v. gregarii, non raro conlluentes, elliptic! vel plus mlnuive elonga - 
ti, primo epidermide tecti, demum erumpentes, pulveracei, fusel . 
Sporae ovatie, ellipsoidem vel obloiigae, non raro irregulares vel pyri - 
formes, membrana tenuissima lequali, ad apicem vel laterale (plerum- 
<iue) apiculo brevi, conico, subhyalino, prmdittje, fuscie, 21 — 30 y- longie, 
14—21 !>■ crassai, episporio longitudinaliter striato, pedicello sublongo, 
valde fragili, hyalino sutf'ultm. In folds scapisque vivis Ilypoxidis 
erectae, Perryville, Mo., Mai, 1883, leg. C. II. Demstrio. 
Observ.: Diese Art steht in der Teleutosporenform dem Uromyces 
Erythronii, PC. sehr nahe, der sich wesentlich nur durch etwas grossere. 
Sporen auszeiclinet, Dagegen sind die Aecidieii beider Arteii ganz 
verschieden. Mit Uromyces Ilypoxides, Cooke, in Urevillea X, p. 127, hat 
unsere Art nichts gemein.
