Teleutosori on floweringscapes and leaves, amphigenous, small, densely gregarious,frequently concentrically arranged in large circles; at firstcovered by ashen-coloured epidermis, later exposed, firm,convex, brown. Teleutospores globose to ovate, pedicellate, wall smooth,•rather thick, 18-25x20-22//; pedicel deciduous, hyaline toyellowish, 3-5 /x wide x 3-8 fx long. On leaves and scapes of Bidhine hidbosa, Haw. NationalPark, Belair, , common (fig. 1).. Fig. 1. Teleutospores of Uromyces hulbinis, Thuem. Drawn from fresh material (xllOO). This species was described by Thuemen in Flora, 1877,and is given by Cooke, Handbook of Australian Fungi, ; also by McAlpine, 1906, p. 87. The localities givenby the latter are: Victoria, Omeo; New South Wales, UpperMacquarie River. This rust would appear to be uncommon, for McAlpinesays he has not seen a specimen. It is abundant on its hostin parts of the National Park, Belair, affecting the leavesand basal parts of the stems, and occasionally sori have beenfound in the flowering region. The appearance is highlycharacteristic, the ashen-coloured young sori showing plainlyon the yellow-orange infected portion of the host. The com-pound sori are occasionally very large, in one case 14 x 2 mm.;sometimes a second ring of confluent sori surrounds the first. 168 We cannot understand the statement in the descriptio
