A small genus of slight economic importance. T. deformans Dur. & M.^^e- 129 Sori in the seeds, showing when the legumes are broken open as reddish-brown, dusty spore-masses which destroy most of the seeds; spore-balls reddish-brown, ovoid to spherical, rather firm, composed of 3-25 (usually 7-12) spores, chiefly 27-60 n in length; spores in optical section triangular to polygonal or when free irregular oblong, free surface with papillae that sometimes vary to spiny processes, 15-25 n, chiefly 15-20 m in length. On a large number of Legiuninous hosts, including species of Vicia, Lathyrus, Lupinus, Trifolium, etc., in widely scattered regions of both the old and the new world. Tolyposporiuin Woronin (p. 302) Sori usually in the inflorescence, especially the ovary, forming granular spore-masses at maturity; spore-balls dark-colored, of numerous spores permanently united, germination about as in Ustilago. A genus of about ten species. T. bullatum ^s-1^ Sori in ovaries, infecting occasional ones, ovate, about 3-5 mm. in length, covered with a thin, greenish, smooth membrane, upon rupture of which the black granular spore-mass becomes scattered;.
