Collections Examined

Host : Dichelachne crinita (Forst. f.) Hook. f. On leaves. Herb. No. 760. Akaroa (Banks Peninsula), 300m., W. D. Reid ! 16 Jan., 1922. (Type.) .

Description

II. Uredosori amphigenous, seated on discoloured spots, scattered, seldom confluent, elliptical, 1 mm. long, reddish-orange, pulverulent, surrounded by the ruptured epidermis. Spores globose or subglobose, 38-41 mmm. diam.; epispore hyaline, closely and finely echinulate, 1 mmm. thick, cell-contents orange-yellow, granular; germ-pores scattered, numerous (12-18), conspicuous; mixed with and partially surrounded by numerous hyaline, capitate paraphyses.

Latin

II. Soris uredosporiferis amphigeniis, in maculis discoloratis, raris, raro confluentibus, ellipticis, 1 mm. longis, rubescente-aurantiacis, pul.verulentibus, rupta epidermide cinctis. Uredosporis globosis vel subglobosis, 38-41 mmm. latis; episporio hyalino, solide subtiliter echinulato, 1 mmm. crasso, contentu aurantiaco, granuloso; foraminibus germinis raris, numerosis (12-18), conspicuis; numerosis hyalinis, capitatis paraphysibus immixtis.

Notes

The host is indigenous and is widespread; it occurs also in Australia and Tasmania. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 873.)
This rust is readily distinguished from any other on the Gramineae by the large globose spores, thin hyaline finely-echinulate epispore, :and numerous scattered, conspicuous germ-pores.
