72 THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI glotose to sub-globose or ovoid, light brown tinged with violet, wall 2 [J, thick. Epispore hyaline or tinted, reticulate (reticulations l'5-2-0 IJ. diam.), 12-16 ft diam. On Knautia arvensis. ' , July. England (Yorks.), Scotland (Fife): Uncommon. Spore germination. Unknown. Some of the records for U: scabiosae may refer to this species. Ustilago utriculosa (Nees) Tul. Caeoma utriculosa Nees, Syst. Pilze, i, p. 14, 1817. Ustilago utriculosa (Nees) Tulasne, Ann. Sci. nat., Bot., Ser. 3, vii, p. 102, 1847. Sori in the flowers inflating the ovaries and involving the filaments of the stamens, about 2-3 mm. long. Spore mass powdery, brownish violet. Spores globose to sub-globose, violet when fresh, brownish violet when dry, with prominent reticulations (2 to 3-4 /Lt wide, 1-5-2 y. deep), 11-14/^ diam. (Fig. 4:b). On Polygonum lapathifolium and Polygonum sp. Aug .-Sept. Yorks. Exsiccati: Vize, Micro. Fungi, 132. This species is similar to U. anomala (q.v.).with FIG. 4. o. Ustilago anomala. '^^^^^ i* has been confused. It appears to be of less Spores from type collection, frequent Occurrence in Great Britain than 17. anomala. x500. 6. U. utriculosa. Spores. x500. Spore germination. The four-celled promycehum bears apical and lateral sporidia which produce secondary sporidia by budding or germ-tubes. No sporidial or hyphal fusions were observed by Brefeld (1895) or by Fischer & Hirschhorn (1945 a), but Liro (1924, p. 208) who germinated spores of this species and of U. anomala records the fusion of sporidia still attached to the promycelium. Infection of the host occurs at the seedling stage. Physiologic races. The net-spored smuts attacking species of Polygonum can be subdivided into physiologic races some of which diifer slightly in size of spore. Several races have been given specific rank (Liro, 1924; Ciferri, 1938). Ustilago anomala Kunze Ustilago anomala J. Kunze, Fungi select, exsicc, No. 23, 1875. Similar to U. utriculosa (q.v.) from which it differs in the globose, sub-globose, or ovoid spores having more delicate reticulations (up to 2 /x wide, about 1 ft deep) (Fig. 4 a). On Polygonum convolvulus, P. hydropiper, and P. persicaria. Aug.-Oct. Widespread. Fairly common. Spore germination has been described by Schroeter (1877) and Brefeld (1895). Germination occurs in the spring after overwintering when sporidia are produced on a four-celled promycelium. The sporidia after fusing in pairs become detached from the promycehum and then produce germ-tubes or, in nutrient splution, bud off secondary sporidia to give yeast-like colonies.
THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI 73 TTstilago tragopogonis-pratensis (Pers.) Roussel [Uredo tragopogi Persoon, 1797.] Uredo tragopogi pratensis Persoon, Synopsis, p. 225, 1801. Ustilago tragopogi pratensis Roussel, Flor. Calvados, p. 47, 1806. Uredo receptaculorum de CandoIIe, 1808, p.p. Uredo receptaculorum tragopogi de Candolle, 1815, fide de CandoUe, 1815. Ustilago receptaculorum (DC.) Fries, 1832. Ustilago tragopogi de Toni, 1888 [as '(Pers.) Schroet.']. Sori in the inflorescence destroying the florets. Spore mass powdery, dark purple. Spores globose or sub-globose to slightly elongated, pale violet, delicately reticulate (reticulations 1-2 /i diam.), 12-14 /A diam. On Tragopogon pratensis and T. porrifolius (salsify). May-June. Widespread. Exsiccati: Cooke, Fungi. Brit. Exsicc., i, 59; ii, 434; Vize, Fungi Brit., 134. Spore germination has been figured by Tulasne (1854) (Fig. 2 c), de Bary (1866), Fischer von Waldheim (1869), and Brefeld (1883). The sporidia arising from the four-ceUed promycelium are long, almost rod-shaped, 14-24 X 2-5-4-5 /i (Fischer von Waldheim), 18-22 x 2-5-3 /x (Liro, 1924). They usually bend so that the long axis is parallel with the promycelium and fuse readily either before or after detachment. Paravicini (1917) figured the fusion of eUiptical uninucleate sporidia. Tulasne (1854) germinated the nearly related small spored species on Scorzonera. The sporidia were very small and oblong and budded profusely. Fusions were not observed. Brefeld (1883) agreed with Tulasne but Paravicini (1917) claims to have found fusions in old cultures. Infection of the host. Liro (1924) showed experimentally that this smut is seedborne. He failed to get conclusive evidence on the exact mode of transmission but suggests that flower infection may occur as in loose smut of wheat. Ustilago kuebneana Wolff Ustilago kuhneana Wolff, Bot. Zeit., xxxu, p. 815, 1874. Sori in the inflated ovaries or anthers; itt-'the stems, especially the upper branches of the inflorescence, as spot-like or elongated blisters which burst to give spore-filled lesions; less frequently, in the leaves. Spore mass powdery, pinkish purple. Spores spherical, pale yellow or yellowish brown tinged with purple, reticulate, 12-20 (av. 13-16 or occasionally more) /x diam. On Eumex acetosa, B. acetosella, and B. crispus. June-Sept. England, Scotland. Fairly Common. Exsiccati: Cooke, Fungi Brit. Exsicc., ii, 436. Spore germination. Wolff (1874 b) germinated the spores on water and obtained a three or four-celled promycelium with lemon-shaped sporidia which were not seen to fuse. Brefeld (1883) figured the sporidia in whorls at each septum. In nutrient solution they budded profusely and fusions were observed.
