Entyloma Saniculae Fk. 
Entyloma Saniculae Pk., Ann. Rep. N. Y. St. Mus. Nat. Hist., 38 : 100 
1885. 
Soii in leaves, forming small whitish to reddish brown usually 
angular areas, limited by the veins, about £-2 mm., showing on 
both surfaces but more plainly below, often with slight border on 
upper surface; spores light to reddish yellow, ovoid to chiefly 
subspherical or spherical, thick walled, smooth, 11-16 y in length; 
conidia chiefly hypophyllous, often in dense white tufts, filiform, 
tapering, often curved, about 30-45 y. x 1.5 /x. 
Hosts: Sanicula Marylandica , la., Ill., N. Y. (type), Wise.; S. 
Menziesii , Calif.; Scinicula sp., Ala., Ind. 
This species differs from Entyloma Eryngii in the uniformly 
11101 e regular spores and in the presence of conidia, but in size and 
color of spores they are similar. The difference in general appear¬ 
ance of the sori is such as might result from the difference in the 
texture of the leaves infected. The germination of the spores has 
not been reported.

Entyloma Eryngii (Cda.) DeBy. 
Physoderma Eryngii Cda., Icon. Fung., 3 : 3. 1839. 
Protomyces Eryngii Fckl., Symb. Myc., 75. 1869. 
Entyloma Eryngii DeBy., Bot. Zeit., 32 : 105. 1874. 
Sori in leaves, varying somewhat with the host, small, polygonal, 
oi nioie elongated, often confluent, at first yellowish but eventually 
reddish brown, showing on both surfaces; spores light to reddish 
yellow, ovoid to subspherical or often polyhedral or more irregular 
through pressure, thick walled, smooth, usually 11-17 y in length; 
conidia unknown. 
Host: Eryngium yuccaefolium , la. 
The single American specimen that was examined does not agree 
exactly with the European form of this species either in the spores 
or in the sorus. These differences, possibly, may result from the 
different hosts infected. The American form resembles in its spores 
Entyloma Saniculae but apparently lacks a conidial stage. The 
germination of the spores has been reported by DeBary and 
Woronin. Literature: 39,45,203.
