Abstract
Puccinia kraussiana Cooke is a rust with large teleutospores which will germinate without a resting period. This, together with the fact that the nuclei are large and stain well in comparison with those of most fungi, make this a very favourable object for the study of meiosis as it occurs in fungi, comparable with the rust Coleosporium vernonae so fully described by Olive1.
