The mycelium of the cecidia pereuuial in the underground parts ; all the shoots which arise from the affected plant are deformed, the internodes are lengthened, the leaves become smaller, paler and often twisted. In F. Violae this is not the case ; only a slight swelling arises at the part where the localised mycelium is producing its a3cidia. Bock (Centralbl. fill' Bakt. 2. xx. 586) fcmnd that he could produce the recidia of P. Violae on the three species of Viola named above, by artificial infection ; but like others he still considered the two species as distinct on account of their different habit. Liro, on the contrary, considers them as the same. In my experience, the uredo- and teleuto-sori of P. aegra are larger, and remain longer covered by the epidermis, but the spores are identical. This species can do considerable harm if allowed to spread ; there is no remedy, but all infected plants should be carefully uprooted and burnt. A Viola, badly attacked by the ajcidium, was once sent to the Gardener's Chronicle by a correspondent as " a hybrid between a fern and a ; Distribution : Germany, Denmark. 75.
