0. Spermogones amphigenous; immersed, honey-coloured, surrounded by the aecidia.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, crowded in irregularly-circular groups, seated on discoloured and slightly-inflated areas visible on the upper surface, yellow. Peridia erumpent, cylindrical, 1 mm. high, 0.4-0.5 mm. diam., margins erect, not revolute, irregularly lacerate, tinted yellow. Spores polygonal or,. elliptical, 42-50 X 34-40 mmm.; epispore hyaline, densely and coarsely verruculose, 2.5-5 mmm. thick, cell-contents coarsely granular, pallid yellow.

0. Spermagoniis amphigeniis, immersis, ad aecidiis immixtis. I. Aecidiis hypophyllis, in catervis inaequalibus, in maculis discoloratis luteis. Peridiis erumpentibus, cylindricis, 1 mm. altis, 0.5 mm. latis, mar ginibus erectis, non revolutis, laceratis, luteis. Aecidiosporis polygoniis vel ellipticis, 42-50 X 34-40 mmm.; episporio hyalino, solide rustice verruculoso, 2-2.5 mmm. crasso, contentu rustice granuloso, luteo.
The host is endemic, and is abundant throughout. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 259.)
The upright cylindrical peridia and large size of the spores serve to characterize this species.
