BOTANY the species is painted from a Herefordshire specimen in Cooke's Illustratiom of British Fungi, and the conidial, aecidial or uredal state is only enumerated when the more perfect and higher condition of the same plant has not been recorded for the county, whereas the list in the Flora of Herefordshire enumerates all these forms separately. For the purpose of comparison we have set out under the different groups the numbers as recorded in the Flora of Herefordshire, and the present list and those recorded for Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
