Melanotaenium lamii Sydow, Ann. mycol., Berl., xviii, pi 156, (April) 1921.<br />

Sari in the undergroxind stems as blister-like swellings! or as tuberous bodies<br />

8-5-9-0 mm. diam. (Plate II, Fig. 1); affected buds are much more swoUen.<br />

Spore mass firm, black. Spores spherical to oval, dark brown, thick-waUed,<br />

smooth, 17-20 [J. diam.<br />

On Lamium album.<br />

Chalfont, Stroud, Glos., early summer 1918 and again in 1919, W. F. Drew<br />

Spore germination and infection of the host are unknown. Viennot-Bourgin (1937)<br />

has described the development and anatomy of galls produced by this species<br />

on Linaria spuria and by M. cingens on L. striata.<br />

ENTYLOMA de Bary,<br />

Banunculus repent, Germany.<br />

Synonym: Bhamphosora D.D. Cunningham, 1887.<br />

Sori usually in the leaves, generally giving rise to discoloured areas, permanently<br />

embedded in the host tissue. Spores single, hyahne or pale in colour. Sporidia<br />

not infrequent on the host plant as a result of spore germination in situ or on<br />

mycelium protruding through the stomata.<br />

Spore germination, see pp. 104-8.<br />

Entyloma achilleae Magn.<br />

Entyloma achilleae P. Magnus, Abh. naturh. Ges. Niirnberg, xiii, p. 8, 1900.<br />

Sori in the leaves. Spores globose, colourless, 10-12/A diam. [Sporidia on the host<br />

Entyloma calendulae (Oudem.) de Bary, Bot. Zeit., xxxii, p. 102, 1874.<br />

Sori in the leaves as circular spots, 1 •0-5-0 mm. or more diam., first pale, then<br />

brown. Spores globose to polygonal, almost hyaline to pale yellow, smooth,<br />

9-14 /x diam. Sporidia, see p. 22.<br />

On Calendula officinalis and (fide Beaumont, Bep. Plant Path., Seale Hayne<br />

agric. Coll., x, p. 39; xi, p. 54; xiii, p. 39) cultivated Calendula.<br />
