108 THE BKITISH SMUT FUNGI<br />

Spore germination. Unknown.<br />

In some of the material examined Protomyces macrosporus Ung, (see Plowright<br />

(1889) p. 300) was also present. '<br />

Entyloma henningsianum Syd.<br />

Entyloma henningsianum Sydow, Hedwigia, xxxix, p. 123; 1900.<br />

Sori in the leaves forming scattered orbicular spots, 4-8 mm. diam., pale yellow,<br />

becoming brownish. Spores globose or globose-angular, yellowish-hyaline,<br />

epispore about 2 ft thick, smooth, 9-15 /x.<br />

On Samolus valerandi.<br />

Dubh Loch, Inveraray, Argyllshire, Sept., 1907, D. A. Boyd (A. L. Smith & Rea,<br />

Trans. Brit, mycol. Soc, iii, p. 34, 1908 [Herb. B.M.]).<br />

Spore germination. Unknown.<br />

Entyloma matricariae Trail in Plowright, 1889.<br />

Entyloma trailii Massee, 1891 [nom. nov. for E. matricariae Trail apud Plowr.].<br />

Sori in the leaves, when mature as discrete brown spots or affecting all surfaces<br />

of the leaf segments, and, less frequently, the stems. Spores globose or polygonal,<br />

thin-walled, hyaUne to dark yeUow, smooth, 10-12 fi diam. Sporidia on the host,<br />

in mature and maturing sori, filiform, hyaline, one- to four-celled, 6-25 X 2-3 fx.<br />

On Matricaria inodora.<br />

Aug.-Sept. Scotland (Orkneys, Aberdeens., Argylls.).<br />

Spore germination. Unknown.<br />

Entyloma ungerianum de Bary, 1874 [nom. nov. for P. microsporus Ung.].<br />

Entyloma microsporum Schroeter in Rabenh. Fungi Europ., No. 1872, 1874.<br />

Stat, conid.<br />

Gylindrosporium ranunculi var. microsporum D. Saccardo, 1904.<br />

Entylomella microspora (D. Sacc.) Ciferri, 1938.<br />

Sori in the leaves and petioles as round or fusiform yellowish-brown swellings.<br />

Spores globose or irregular, pale yellowish brown, epispore formed of several<br />

layers, 2-6 /x thick, smooth, 12-21 X10-18 /LI. Sporidia on the host fusiform,<br />

hyaline, 12-18x2-5/n.<br />

On Eanunculus repens, R. acris.<br />

Sept.-Oct. England (Yorks.), Scotland.<br />

Spore germination. De Bary (1874) obtained germination in 24 hours by placing<br />

spores from a fresh, ripe sorus in water in a moderately warm room. Spores<br />

dried for three months also germinated. Four to eight (usually six or seven)<br />

terminal branches developed simultaneously on the promycelium with apical or<br />

basal fusion. Sometimes the branches grew out to form mycelium, sometimes<br />

they gave rise to long, thin, slightly bent sporidia (Fig. 20 b).
