COMMON on Poa fluitans, (Sm. Fl. Brit. p. 95.) In the early flowering of the plant it begins to swell the feeds, that are affected very conspicuously. In the latter state they become lengthened and curved, the ourside emitting a farinaceous-looking dust.

ROUND black particles, in clusters, found on the bark of the foliage of Trifolium fragiferum or Strawberry Trefoil, in damp weather, early in the autumn, while the flowers of the plant are in full perfection. TAB. CCCXCVII.

in small scattered clusters on the back of the leaf of Tuddilago Petasites, or Butterbur. The border is roundish, somewhat regular, cracking, and reflexed, of a light yellowish brown, lightest on the inside.

MOSTLY single, scattered, smaller than the last, lighter coloured, and sometimes plain, as if rubbed, not being so well secured as the last is by the woolly leaf. These are possibly varieties of each other. The ''Æ. Tragopoginis'' seems to contract and spoil the growth of the foliage, &c.

FORMS a largish cluster or two on the back of the foliage of the Cornus sanguinea. Its border is mostly plain. The Fungi are crowded, and fitting on an orange-coloured rising substance, darker than the cases, which are, however, somewhat tinged, as it were, by it at their bases.

NEARLY like the last, though somewhat paler, and more scattered over the back of the foliage. It is most common on the Pilewort, or Ranunculus Ficaria.
