94 THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI ribbons. Spore mass powdery, black. Spore halls irregularly globose, 14-26 jti diam., each composed of one or two (occasionally three) spores completely surrounded by a layer of yeUowish-tinted sterile cellsl mostly 7-10 /i diam., but frequently rather disorganized to give a ridged effect. Spores irregularly globose, reddish-brown, smooth, 12-14 (rarely up to 16) fj. diam. On Agropyron pungens, A. repens, Arrhenatherum\elatius. May-June. England (Surrey), Scotland. Spore germination of the smut on grasses is unknown. Spore balls from wheat germinate on water in three to five days, producing a short thick promycehum with an apical cluster of three to five or more hyahne cylindrical sporidia (Fischer & Hirschhorn, 1945 a). Infection of the host occurs at the seedhng stage. The fungus persists for several years in perennial grasses (Fischer & Holton, 1943). Underground buds of Agropyron repens were infected experimentally but not those of Carex, Phleum, Poa, or Agrostis species (Liro, 1938). Racial specialization. The following species of grasses in the United States are more or less susceptible to the stripe smut of wheat: Agropyron caninum, A. dasystachyum, A. desertorum, A. inerme, A. repens, A. semicostatum, A. spicatum, A. trachycaulum, Elymus canadensis, E. glaucus, E. triticoides, and Hordeum jubatum var. caespitosum. Rye appears to be immune but one variety of wheat (KanredxHard Federation C.I. 10092) is slightly susceptible to Urocystis agropyri from grasses. Three out of four collections of spores from grasses were physiologically distinct (Fischer & Holton, 1943). In South Africa and in Australia the stripe smut from wheat failed to infect grasses (Verwoerd, 1929; Jarrett, 1932). Two physiologic races of the wheat stripe smut were distinguished by their reactions on certain Oro X Federation selections (Holton & Johnson, 1943), and 12 races were recognized in China where varietal resistance and its mode of inheritance have been studied (Shen, 1934; Yu, Hwang, & Tsiang, 1936; Yu, Wang, & Fang, 1945). Work on the resistance of wheat varieties to stripe smut has also been done in Australia (Pridham & Dwyer, 1930; Limbourn, 1931; Jarrett, 1932.; Millikan & Sims, 1937), in South Africa (Verwoerd, 1929), and in the United States (Tisdale, Duncan, & Leighty, 1923). Urocystis anemones (Pers.) Winter Anemone Smut Uredo anemones Persoon, Synopsis meth. Fung., p. 233, 1801. Gaeoma pompholygodes Schlechtendal, 1826, fide Saccardo, 1886.

Spore mass powdery, black. Spore balls irregular, 16-32 fi diam., each composed of one spore (occasionally two or three) partially surrounded by yellowish sterile cells, 6-14 fx. diam., which not infrequently

On Anemone nemorosa, A. pulsatilla, cultivated Anemones, and Ranunculus repens. Malcolm Wilson {Trans. Brit, mycol. Soc, xii, p. 115) has also recorded B. ficaria and Trollius europaeus as hosts in Scotland. April-Sept. Widespread. Common. Exsiccati: Berkeley, Fungi Brit. 236 [as Uredo pompfiolygodes]; Vize, Fungi Brit. 36 [as Urocystis pompholygodes]; Microfungi Brit. 40 [as Urocystis pompholygodes]; Cooke, Fungi Brit. Exsicc. i, 79 [as Polycystis pompholygodes]; ii, 148 [as Urocystis pompholygodes}. Spore germination. Fischer von Waldheim (1867) and Plowright (1889) obtained similar results in regard to germination. The latter found that spores immersed for 48 hours in water in November and December produced promyceUa which, growing up into the air, developed three or four sporidia (10-14 x 3-3-5 fj,). Enlarging and becoming vacuolate, these sometimes attained a size of 22 X 4 ju.. Fusion between sporidia was observed by Plowright. Liro (1938) confirmed these results, noting the shortness of the promycelia and observing fusions between sporidia which finally became septate. Paravicini (1917) found that the sporidia, while still on the promycehum, were uninucleate (Fig. 17 c)., Fusions were not observed but in old cultures some cells had two nuclei. The binucleate condition appeared to arise by the fusion of two neighbouring cells but his figures are not convincing. ' Infection of the host. Plowright (1889) placed sporidia on leaves of Ranunculus repens in December and obtained sori at the same point in February. He con- ' eludes that infection is localized, not systemic. Markova (1927) found the spores capable of germination as soon as they were formed and any young part of the plant could be infected throughout the year. He established the existence of three physiologic races, f. cassubici on Ranunculus cassvhicus, f. repentis on R. acris, R. repens, and six other species of Ranunculus, and f. anemones on Anemone nemorosa and A. ranunculoides. He failed to infect R. ficaria, R. flammula, R. lingua, R. sderatus, and Trollius europaeus. Liro (1938) has given specific rank to the races on Anemone, Trollius, Ranunculus ficaria, and some other members of the Ranunculaceae.
