Abstract

Teliospore germination in Cintractia limitata and C. mitchellii is illustrated and shown to agree closely with that earlier reported in two other species of the genus. Basidial cells conjugate pairwise, and from each united pair a relatively large, and probably dikaryotic, blastoconidium is produced. In C. mitchellii, as a rare event, conjugation does not occur and cells of the basidium form small basidiospores. It is pointed out the course of teliospore germination in Cintractia spp. departs markedly from the standard Ustilago type.
