Uredosori hypophyllous, scattered, seated on pallid spots visible on the upper surface, orbicular, 1 mm. diam., orange, fading with age to pallid yellow, pulverulent, deeply seated in the dense tomentum of the leaf. Spores obovate or elliptical, 40-55 X 25-31 mmm.; epispore hyaline, closely and finely echinulate, 1.5-2 mmm., cell-contents granular, yellow; germ-pores scattered, numerous (6-8), obscure.
II. Soris uredosporiferis hypophyllis, raris, in maculis pallidis, rotundatis, 1 mm. latis, aurantiacis, pulverulentibus, diu tomento folii tectis.
