Status of the Rust Genera Allopuccinia, Leucotelium, Edythea, and Ypsilospora

Abstract
Sorataea Sydow (=Allopuccinia Jackson) and S. amiciae (=A. diluta Jacks and Holw.); on Amicia lobbiana from Bolivia. While retained as distinct, the morph. similarity of Leuco-telium Tranz. and Sorataea is pointed out. Edythea Jackson, on S. American Berberis spp., is considered synonymous with Desmella Sydow, on tropical American ferns, and the following n. combs. are made D. quitensis (Uropyxis g. Lagerh.), D. berberidis (Sphenospora b. Lagerh.), and D. tenella (Edythea t. Jacks and Holw.). Chaconia Juel (=Ypsilospora Cummins) and the n. comb. C. baphiae (Y. b. Cum.), on Baphia nitida from Sierra Leone, is proposed.
