| Summary: | Cintractia calderi is described from ovaries of Carex backii; it has been found in Manitoba and Ontario, and is characterized by very large spores with coarse, dark warts. The genus Planetella is erected to accommodate P. lironis found in the ovaries of Carex maritima in Keewatin and C. leiophylla in Yukon; the spores have thin, pale walls except for a dark brown, thickened equatorial ring, and the sori have a hard, prosenchyma coat. |
