It is much more probable that the teleutospores re- sult from a sexual act, and that they are to be compared to the asci of the Ascomycetes. The teleutospores are possibly reduced asci, containing one or more large ascospores; in some cases—«.jr., in Puccinia Heliantld—an outer investing membrane can be distinguish- ed after treatment with potassic hydrate, fSj^^a^felop fnw Ve^cdrs while in Puccinia (JJropyxis) Amorphm there of the mature teleutospore. is " a deciduous outer coat,"* which contains ^^ ymagni e . the double spore, and (when moistened) a mass of jelly. In both these cases the membranous covering closely resembles an ascus which fits closely over its contained double spore. In the genus Phragmidimn. (Fig. 830), especially in youns teleutospores, the resemblance to asci and ascospores is still more striking; the so- called " cells" of the teleutospore originate as so many separate masses in the interior of a large ascus-like membrane (Fig 319); in their further development the cells become large, and at last fill up the whole cavity, and then have the ap- pearance of Fig. 230. The resemblance of the teleutospores to re- duced asci is close enough to make it probable that sexual organs resembling those of Asco- mycetes will 1)0 found to precede them. This is rendered the more probalile from the resem blance of secidinspores, s
