Puccinia collinsiae P. Henn. Hedwigia
Uredinia amphigenous, scattered, round or oval, 0.3-0.8 mm. across, eariy naked, pulverulent, cinnamon-brown, ruptured epidermis evident; urediniospores globoid or broadly ellipsoid, 16-23 by 21-26 ju; wall cinnamon-brown, 2-2.5 /x thick, finely and rather closely echinulate, the pores 2, sometimes 3, equatorial.
III, Telia amphigenous, scattered, round* or oval, 0.3-0.8 mm. across, early naked, compact, dark chestnut-brown, ruptured epidermis evident; teliospores ellipsoid or clavateellipsoid, 19-23 by 31-42 ;u, rounded above, rounded or somewhat narrowed below, slightly constricted at septum; wall chestnut-brown, 2-2.5 p. thick, thickened above, 7-10 ju, smooth; pedicel colorless, up to 50 m long.
In the original description aecial characters are given substantially as follows: Aecia amphigenous, crowded upon reddish spots, cupulate, smaU; peridial cells yellowish-white, ellipsoid, tessellate ; aeciospores globoid or broadly ellipsoid, 16-19 m; wall yellowish, appearing smooth. The portion of the original collection in the Ellis Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden shows no aecia. No other collections have been seen that agree with this material, and there is considerable doubt about the host belonging to the genus Collinsia.
