Abstract
At least 21 species of rusts have been recorded on Abies; 2 (possibly identical) belong to Melampsora, 2 are unconnected peridermia, and the rest are distributed among 6 genera of the Puccinias-treae; 14 in all parasitize Abies balsamea. A study is here made of the structure of the spermogonia of 13 species, representing all of the genera (Melampsora, Melampsorella, Pucciniastrum, Calyptospora, Hyalop-sora, Milesina, and Uredinopsis), as a contribution to morphology in relation to taxonomy. It has been found that the spermogonia are strikingly distinctive and in some cases they show species differences within the generic type.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
