In both cases it is not certain that the teleutospores have been found in Britain, and the descrigtion is taken from Dietel and Fiscber. Dietel has shown (Ann. Mycol. ) that infection by the uredospores can be performed easily in a room on C. fragilis; time of incubation fourteen days. This would, therefore, be a very convenient species for cytologioal investigation among the lowest types, but Dietel obtained no teleutospores. Distribution : Europe, North America. MILESINA Magnus. Teleutospores intracellular, hyaline, septate. Uredo-sori furnished with a peridium which opens at the summit with a pore; uredospores hyaline, pedicellate, with a thin epispore, but without germ-pores. On Ferns. 1. Milesina Dieteliana Magn.
