The greyish tinge mentioned by Plowright seems to be due to germ- tubes issuing from the spores of this Leptopuocinia. This species is decidedly diflferent from the American forms with which it is united by Sydow ; there are no spots, the colour of the spore is paler, the apex not so much thickened, and the sori are not confined to the lower leaf-surface. Many spores were observed bifid at the summit, but not owing to germi- nation, which had not taken place in them. Distribution : Northern and Central Europe, Siberia. 2. Puccinia Virgaurese Lib.

Sori hypophyllous, minute, crowded in stellate or dendritic clusters, on round, yellowish, purple-centred spots, com- pact, shining, black ; spores oblong, clavate or fusoid, above rounded, attenuated or truncate, very much thickened (as much as 12/i) and darker or with a paler hood-like cap, hardly constricted, tapering below, smooth, yellow-brown, paler down- wards, 30—56x12—20 ytt; pedicels somewhat hyaline, half as long as the spore. On Solidago Virgaurea. August and September. Un- common ; Surrey, etc. (Fig. 81.) The sori are arranged in a radiating fashion; they are sui-rounded each by a thick fence of dark-brown paraphyses, remain long covered by. Fig. 81. P. Virgaureae.
