0. Incognitis. I. Aecidiis hypophyllis, in maculis discoloris, raris vel parvis catervis, flavis. Peridiis plano-globosis, 0.25 mm. latis, immersis, marginibus incurvatis, hyalinis, tornento denso folii tectis. Aecidiosporis polygoniis, ellipticis vel obovatis, 27-45 X 20-26 mmm.; episporio hyalino, solide subtiliter verruculoso, 1-1-5 mmm. crasso, contentu granuloso, luteo.
The host is endemic, and is confined to the mountain regions of the southern portion of the South Island. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 307.)
This rust is characterized by the depressed-globose aecidia, large spores, and hyaline, finely verruculose epispore. Sections are necessary to determine the shape and size of the peridium.

All hosts with the exception of Celmisia longifolia Cass. are endemic; the latter species occurs also in Australia and Tasmania (Cheeseman, 1906, pp. 310-314.)
One other rust found on Celmisia in New Zealand, P. fodiens G. H. Cunn. (fig. 87), closely resembles the species described above, but differs in several particulars. The main differences are tabulated below, and in the text the two illustrations are placed together so that the differences may be observed the more readily.
P. fodiens : Uredospores - Epispore sparsely and coarsely echinulate, 3 mmm. thick. Teleutospores - 40-55 X 28-35 mmm.; apex acuminate, thickened up to 10 mmm., epispore finely punctate.
P. Celmisiae : Uredospores - Epispore fairly closely and finely echinulate, epispore 1-5-2 mmm. thick Teleutospores - 50-62 x 30-36 mmm.; apex rounded, not or slightly thickened, epispore smooth.

Puccinia celmisiae G. Cunn. 1924
Cunningham (1931a) stated that all host plants save Celmisia fongifolia Cass. were endemic, this last extending to Australia and Tasmania. Allan (1961) showed that C. longifolia is not present in New Zealand. Collections cited by Cunningham on this host are shown to be characteristic of C. gracilenta and C. alpina. The rust is common on Celmisia spp. in mountainous regions throughout New Zealand. When Celmisia spp. are cultivated as rock plants the rust may become a problem. Petrak (1953) recorded Puccinia celmisiae from Australia on Celmisia longifolia.
