I. Forming large orange patches on stem and leaves. Spores subglobose, minutely warted, pale yellow, 35-45 X 18-25 /i. II. Small brown pustules on leaves mostly, spores sub globose or elliptical, pale brown, minutely warted, 18-28 x 15-20 /t. III. Blackish pustules on the leaves, spores elliptical or almost cylindrical, scarcely constricted, end rounded, thick- ened, minutely warted, brown, with a pale papilla, 25-35 X 18-23 /I, stem larger than spore. The mycelium of the aecidium stage is perennial in the creeping underground portion of the stem, hence when a plant is once infected it produces the disease every season.
