(Index Kewensis). Podotheca (Podosperma),belonging to the Compositae Inuleae-Gnaphalinae, is a genusendemic to Australia, and is the host of the native rust 170 considered. Scorzonera, of course, belongs to the CompositaeChicorieae-Leontodontinae. The native Australian flora con-tains but one genus (Microseris) belonging to the sub-orderChicorieae. By the kindness of Mr. C. C. Brittlebank, of the Depart-ment of Agriculture, Victoria, we have been allowed toexamine McAlpines type specimens collected at Dimboola,Victoria, Nov., 1892. There is no doubt that the fungus. Fig. of Puccinia semiharhatae, n. sp. (xlOOO). and host plant from Wirrega (S. Austr.) are the same^McAlpines note that P. angustifoliae differs from P. podo-spermi, DC, P. scorzonerae, (Schum.) Jacky, and , (Pers.) Corda, in certain particulars is not sur-prising, considering how widely removed the hosts are inaffinity (McAlp., 1906, p. 150). Puccinia calendulae, McAlp.
