Abstract: | A new rust fungus,Spumula serispora, is described. The morphology of the teliospores and the telia was studied. In the teliospores ofS. serispora andS. quadrifida, the type species of the genus, sterile cells could be found, which are comparable to apical cells of otherRaveneliaceae. Similar sterile cells were also present in the telial heads ofRavenelia texensis. The ontogeny of the teliospores ofS. serispora and the teliospore heads ofRavenelia texensis was studied and compared. In both species the ontogeny of the spores heads was similar. InR. texensis hygroscopic cysts sustaining the spore heads were produced by division and not by conversion of basal sterile cells of the teliospore heads.Part 114 of the series Studies inHeterobasidiomycetes. |
