MILDEWS, RUSTS AND SMUTS 
Aecidia. Scattered over the entire plant, cylindrical 
then expanded, edge deeply torn and recurved, white; 
spores subglobose or angularly globose, granular, yellowish, 
15—22 (X diam. 
Uredospores. Sori small, scattered, for a long time 
covered by the epidermis, cinnamon ; spores subglobose, 
elliptical or ovoid, echinulate, pale brown, 20—30 X 16— 
20 (X. 
Teleutospores. Sori small, blackish, often in rings on the 
leaves, and in lines on the stem, powdery ; spores elliptical, 
ovate or somewhat spindle-shaped, narrowed at both ends, 
scarcely constricted at the septum, tip with a pale conical 
wart as a rule, smooth, chestnut-brown, 24—45 X 15—24[X, 
pedicel usually short. 
Syn. Aecidium adoxae, Duby. 
Aecidium albescens, Grev. 
Puccinia albescens, Grev.; Plowr., Ured., p. 153. 
Puccinia adoxae, Fckh; Plowr.', Ured., p. 207. 
On leaves, leafstalks and stem of Adoxa moschatellina. 
Britain, Europe generally, and N. America. 
The uredospore form is rare. The aecidial and teleuto- 
spore stages often occur separately on different plants. 
Experiments have shown that Puccinia adoxae and P. 
albescens are one and the same fungus and not different 
species, as considered by Plowright. The mycelium is 
perennial in the host-plant. 
RUBIACEAE 
GALIUM 
Puccinia punctata, Link. 
Pycnidia. In small, honey-coloured groups. 
Aecidia. Shortly cylindrical, edge recurved, white, 
on circular spots on the under surface of the leaf ; spores 
globose or elliptical, orange-yellow, almost smooth, 15—25 
[X diam. 
Uredospores. Sori minute, often crowded, on the under 
surface of the leaf, chestnut-biown ; spores globose, ellip¬ 
tical or ovate, minutely spinulose, brown, 22^—30 x 17— 
23 
Teleutospores. Sori black, circular or oblong, on the 
under surface of the leaf ; teleutospores elliptical, oblong 
or clavate, tip very much thickened, slightly constricted 
at the septum, base narrowed, brown, smooth, 35—55 x 
15—25 [X, pedicel thick, coloured, persistent.
