Indian Species of Phakopsora and Bubakia

SUMMARY

This paper reports the occurrence of eight species of Phakopsora and two of Bubakia in India. Two species of the former, Phakopsora Odinae and Phakopsora Stereospermi, are proposed as new species; the latter species is characterised by the presence of subepidermal aecia, which is the first record of this sorus for this genus. Of the two species of Bubakia, one is proposed as a new combination, Bubakia cingens.

I wish to place on record my indebtedness to Rev. Father H. Santapau, S.J., for his kindness in translating the diagnoses into Latin.
