From Project Gutenberg

Uredo, ū-rē′dō, n. a form-genus or stage of fungi of order Uredine�.—adjs.

From Project Gutenberg

In Uredo, the spores are at first generated singly, within a mother cell; they are globose, and either yellow or brown, without any pedicel.

From Project Gutenberg

In the Uredines proper the germination seems to be somewhat similar, or at least not offering sufficient differences to warrant special reference in Uredo, Trichobasis, Lecythea, &c.

From Project Gutenberg

Some have held, without good reason, that the simple cells became afterwards divided and converted into Puccinia, but this is not the case; the uredo-spores are always simple, and remain so except in Uredo linearis, where every intermediate stage has been observed.
