Valantiae, by the consideration that infection takes place from the basidiospores mainly through the cuticle of young and still growing parts, while teleuto-sori of P. punctata and P. Celakovskyana are produced by infection from spores whose germ-tubes can penetrate the stomata of parts of the plant which are already fully developed. The relations between the three species are very like those which subsist between Uromyces THfolii-repentis, U. Trifolii^ and V. flectens. Distribution : Europe, North America. 40.
