Pycnia chiefly epiphyllous, scattered, noticeable, honey-yellow becoming brownish, cclumnar, projecting considerably above the surface of the epidermis, 87-100 u high by 50-80 uw in diameter. III. Telia closely resembling morphologically the aecia of Gymnoconia interstitials, chiefly hypophyllous, from a perennial mycelium, causing some hypertrophy and dwarfing of the host, usually crowded and even confluent, occupying part or all of the under surface of the leaf-blades, applanate, irregular, 0.5—1.5 mm. across, soon naked, somewhat waxy, bright- usually reddish-orange when fresh, fading to pale-yellow, ruptured epidermis conspicuous; teliospores globoid or oblong, 15—23 by 17—28 yu; wall colorless, about 1.5 u thick, evenly and finely verrucose, the pores obscure, 6—10, scattered.

Algen Pilze Javas 2: 30. 1900. Cycle of development includes pycnia, uredinia, and telia. Pycnia and other sori subepidermal. Pycnia discoidal; ostiolar filaments apparently wanting. Uredinia opening by a pore in the epidermis, without peridia or paraphyses. Uredinio- spores borne singly on pedicels from a flat hymenium; wall colored, echinulate or verru- cose, and more or less ridged, the pores indistinct. Telia opening by a pore in the epidermis, without paraphyses. Teliospores one-celled, more or less fusiform, arising from an essentially flat hymenium, breaking from pedicel to show the hilum, and issuing from the ostiole in a mucilaginous filament; wall colorless or nearly so, smooth, the outer layer becoming mucilaginous, the pores one in each spore, apical, indistinct.
