Click to collapse Descriptions Info

The following species and form-species have been recorded as occurring in New Zealand, but, as I have not seen specimens, I am unable to give descriptions; moreover, as in most instances the published descriptions are so fragmentary as to be useless for comparative purposes, I have not included them here.
(e.) Aecidium Anisotomes Reich., Ardt. Sitzungber. K. Akad. der Wissensch., p. 3, 1865.
Host: Angelica geniculata Hook. f.
Possibly Puccinia cuniculi G. H. Cunn., although the description does not agree with that of the aecidium of this host.

Puccinia kinseyi G. Cunn. 1928

0. Unknown.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, when aggregated into small groups, and eaulicolous when crowded on inflated, sometimes distorted areas which may attain a length of 25 mm. or more, and on fruits when scattered evenly over the carpels ; peridia cupulate, 0.3-0.5 mm. diam., apex slightly erumpent, expanded but not revolute, lacerate when old. Spores subglobose or polygonal, 18-24 mmm. diam. ; epispore hyaline, 1 mmm. thick, finely and densely verruculose.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, scattered, orbicular, 0.5 mm. diameter, pulverulent, pallid brown, partly covered by the ruptured epidermis. Spores obovate or subglobose, 22-28 x 20-25 mmm. ; epispore tinted lemon yellow, 1.5 mmm. thick, finely and rather sparsely echinulate ; germ pores equatorial, 4, conspicuous.
III. Teleutosori similar to the uredosori but chestnut-brown. Spores elliptical or subclavate, 28-35 x 18-24 mmm. ; apex rounded, not thickened, base rounded, basal cell slightly narrower; slightly constricted at the septum; epispore smooth, 2 mmm. thick, chestnutbrown; pedicel deciduous, hyaline, to 35 x 8 mmm.; germ pore of the upper cell apical, basal pore immediately above the pedicel, both often papillate and conspicuous.
The host is endemic and occurs in both Islands (Cheesem. 1925, p. 683). This species resembles most closely P. Anisotominis G. H. Cunn. on Anisotome Haastii, but is separated from this species in that the apices of the aecidiospores are not thickened, and by the much smaller teleutospores, those of P. Anisotominis being 40-60 x 17-22 mmm.
The rust is named in honour of Sir Joseph Kinsey, a staunch supporter of New Zealand botanical research.
Host: Angelica geniculata (Forst. f.) Hook. f. Raikaia Gorge Island, Canterbury, 400 m. 1/28. H. H. Allan! Type.

Puccinia kinseyi G. Cunn. 1928

The host plant [Angelica geniculata] and rust are both endemic to New Zealand. The rust occurs only in Canterbury.
