Aecidium milleri G. Cunn. 1924

Host: Aristotelia serrata (Forst.) Oliver (A. racemosa (A. Cunn.) Hook. f.). On leaves. Herb. No. 776. Pokaka (Waimarino County), 800 m., D. Miller ! 10 Feb., 1922. (Type.)
0. Unknown.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, in minute scattered groups, 3-6 in a group, seated on pallid spots visible on the upper surface, pallid orange. Peridia cupulate, erumpent, 0.25 mm. diam., margins erect, not expanded or revolute, minutely dentate, white. Spores subglobose or polygonal, 20-26 X 17-23 mmm.; epispore hyaline, minutely and densely verruculose, 1 mmm thick, cell-contents tinted yellow, vacuolate.
0. Incognitis. I. Aecidiis hypophyllis, in catervis minutisque raris, 3-6 in catervis, in maculis pallidis, luteis. Peridiis cupulatis, erumpentibus, 0.25 mm. latis, marginibus erectis, non revolutis, subtiliter dentatis, albis. Aecidiosporis subglobosis vel polygoniis, 20-26 X 17-23 mmm.; episporio hyalino, solide subtiliter verruculoso, 1 mmm. crasso, contentu luteo, vacuolato.
The host is endemic, and is widely spread throughout the lowland forests. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 83.)
This species is named in honour of the collector; David Miller, Government Entomologist, Biological Laboratory, Wellington.
The aecidia occur in small groups of 3-6, each group being somewhat angular, and about 1 mm. in diameter.
Hab. : In foliis vivis Aristoteliae serratae (Forst.) Oliver. Pokaka, Waimarino County, New Zealand, 800 m. D. Miller.

Aecidium milleri G. Cunn. 1924

Both rust and host are endemic to New Zealand. Cunningham (1931a) described rust pustules as causing angular discoloured lesions on leaves. It is common on Aristotelia in both the North and the South Islands from Taranaki southward.

Aecidium milleri G. Cunn. 1924

Type: Rust and Smut Fungi; Description: Aecia in small scattered groups, cup-shaped, erumpent, white, with a minutely dentate, erect margin, up to 0.25 mm in diameter; on the lower surfaces of leaves in irregular, pale yellow leaf spots coincident on both surfaces of the leaf. Aeciospores elliptical or subglobose, 20–26 × 17–23 μm, densely verruculose.
Distribution: Taupo, Taranaki, Rangitikei, Wanganui, Wellington, Wairarapa, Westland, Marlborough, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury.; 1st Record: Cunningham (1924a).
Significance: The rust causes little damage to the host.; Host(s): Aristotelia ×fruserrata, A. fruticosa, A. serrata.
