SUMMARY
A new species of smut found infecting soybeans is described as Melanopsichium missouriense. The soybean pod is consumed, and a gall of hard, charcoal-like consistency is formed. Chlamydospores, resembling as to spore form, echinulations, etc., those formed in the galls, develop readily in culture. Chlamydospores germinate forming promycelia bearing sporidia both laterally and terminally.
