100 THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI Urocystis violae (Sow.) Fisch. v. Waldh. Smut of Violets Granuluria violae Sowerby, English Fungi, t. 440, 1815. Polycystis violae (Sow.) Berkeley & Broome, 1850. Urocystis violae (Sow.) Fischer von Waldheim, Bull. Soc. N^at. Moscow, xl, p. 258, 1867. Tuburcinia violae (Sow.) Liro, 1922. i Sori in the petioles, veins, and upper parts of the root stock as large elongated swellings which distort the attacked parts. Spore mass powdery, dark brown. Spore balls rather irregular, globose to elongated, 26-68 /A long, each composed of four to eight spores covered by a (frequently disorganized) layer of yellowish sterile cells, 6-10 JJ. diam. Spores sub-globose, ellipsoidal, or polyhedral, reddish brown, smooth, 8-16 ja diam. On Viola odorata, V. reichenbachiana, V. riviniana, and cultivated violets. Feb., July, Nov. Widespread. Common. Exsiccati: Cooke, Fungi Brit. Exsicc, i, 78; Vize, Micro. Fungi, 137,. Spore germination. Germination was obtained by Kiihn (1876), PrilUeux (1880), Dangeard (1894 a), Brefeld (1895), and Schellenberg (1911). Brefeld figured several promycelia of varying age from one spore ball. Five or six short fusiform branches developed at the apex of the promycelium and each produced on a thin sterigma a long oval sporidium (Fig. 17 a). A similar result was obtained by Paravicini (1917) who also showed fusion of fallen sporidia (Fig. 17 b). Rawitscher (1922) described the development of seven to eight uninucleate sporidia which fused in pairs. MEiANOTAENrcTM de Bary, Bot. Zeit., xxxii, p. 105, 1874. Type: Melanotaenium endogenum (Ung.) de Bary on Galium mollugo, Europe. Sori in the stems, leaves, and roots giving rise to extensive black or grejrish areas, permanently embedded in the host tissue. Spore mass never powdery. Spores single, dark in colour. Sporidia not observed on host plant. Spore germination, see below. An account of this genus has been given by Beer (1920). Melanotaenium cingens (Beck) Magn. Ustilago cingens Beck, Oster. bot. Zeitschr., xxxi, p. 313, 1881. Melanotaenium caulium Schroeter, 1887, fide Magnus, 1892. Cintractia cingens (Beck) de Toni, 1888 [as 'Gintractial cingens'^ Melanotaenium cingens (Beck) Magnus, Oster. bot. Zeitschr., xlii, p. 40, 1892, Sori in the stems and leaves, covered by a layer of host tissue which disintegrates to expose the spores. Spore mass firm to somewhat granular, black. Spores rather irregular, globose to sub-globose, polygonal or ellipsoidal, dark brown, almost opaque, smooth, 13-18x10-16 ja. On Linaria vulgaris. July-Aug. N. Wales: Glyndyfrdwy, nr. Langollen, C. T. Green {Trans. Brit, mycol. Soc, ii, p. 6, 1903); Prestatyn; Cambs, [Herb. Kew.]. Spore germination. Brefeld (1883) figured germination showing very short
30390 THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI 101 promycelia, basal fusions between the promycelial branches, and the growth of these to form'hyphae (Fig. 10 b, d). Juel (1894) also figured germination noting the short promyceUa (15 /x) with three or four terminal branches, but he did not observe fusions. Some of the branches formed long septate hyphae (diameter 2 fi) and small, somewhat bent sporidia (9 x 3 ja). In nutrient solution derived from dung the apical branches of the promycelium formed a bunch of sterile filaments. Viennot-Bourgin (1937), using a filtrate of soil and compost, germinated spores from plants of Linaria striata which had been exposed to the weather until April. The promycelia (70-130 /x.) were thin and flexuous with one or two slender apical branches (20-30 X 3 ft) which bore at the tip thin slightly acuminate sporidia (9-18 X 3-5 fi) on rudimentary stalks. l^^. Melanotaenium endogenum (Unger) de Bary Protomyces eridogenus Unger, Die Exantheme der Pflanzen, pp. 342, 419, 183: Protomyces galii Nees von Esenbeck, 1837, fide de Toni, 1888. Melanotaenium endogenum (Unger) de Bary, Bot. Zeit., xxxii, p. 106, 1874. Entyloma endogenum (Unger) Wiinsche, 1877. Sori in the stems and leaves blackening the stunted shoots of the infected plants, covered by the epidermis of the host. Spore mass firmly agglutinated, black. Spores rather irregular, globose, sub-globose, polygonal or elhpsoidal, dark brown, almost opaque, 16-22 X12-20 ja (Figs. 19, 10 c). On Qalium verum. Scotland, Aberdeen (see Trail, Scot. Nat., vii (N.S. i), p. 243, 1884), St. Fagans, Aberdeens. (A. Smith, July, 1932, Herb. Kew.); Newcastle-on-Tyne (A. W. Bartlett, 1938, Herb. I.M.I. 32325); Guernsey (E. A. Ellis, July, 1939, Herb. I.M.I. 32326); Cambs. Fio-19- Melanotaenium endogenum. Spores. x500. Spore germination. Woronin (1882) germinated, in October and November, spores collected at the end of June. The epispore spht and the endospore grew out as a blunt, cylindrical germ-tube which often branched, but only one branch developed further, forming a promycelium •\vith four to seven apical branches which fused at the tip or at the base. After fusion some of these developed septate mycelium but no sporidia were observed. Melanotaenium hypogaeum (Tul.) ScheUenb. Ustilago hypogaea Tulasne, Fung, hypog., p. 196, 1851. Melanotaenium hypogaeum (Tul.) ScheUenberg, Die Brandpilze der Schweiz, p. 108, 1911. Sori in the root stock. Spore mass compact, black, intersected by white fibres. Spores rounded or rounded polygonal, dark brown, smooth, contents very oleaginous, 20-24 x 14r-20/x. [n.v., after Phillips & Plowright.] On Linaria spuria. Freshwater, Isle of Wight, 1869, John Lowe (see Phillips & Plowright, Orevillea, xiii, p. 52, 1884). Spore germination. Unknown.
