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.
