On Rub us fruticosus. Very common, especially near the coast. August—November. (Fig. 224.) This species is easily distinguished by its large conspicuous red and purple spots, and on microscopical examination by the predominance of four-celled teleutospores. These pass the winter on the leaves, which often remain green on the plant; they germinate with the greatest readiness in April. It is an interesting fact that on some portions of the coast, such as in North Wales, this species predominates, but on other portions, in parts of Yorkshire, as I was informed by the late Mr. R. H. Philip, its place is largely taken by P. Rubi.
