Uredo moschatus G. Cunn. 1928

Collections Examined

Host: Olearia moschata Hook. f. Black Birch Creek, Mt. Cook, Canterbury, 1,200 m. 1/28. G.H.C. Type.

Description

II. Uredosori hypophyllous, scattered, orbicular, 0.5-1 mm. diam., pulverulent, pallid lemon-yellow, deeply immersed in the tomentum of the leaf. Spores subglobose or obovate, 24-30 x 20-24 mmm. ; epispore hyaline, 1 mmm. thick, finely and closely covered with small round-topped deciduous verrucae; germ pores equatorial, 3-4, not definite, appearing usually as thin places in the wall; immixed with numerous cylindrical, hyaline paraphyses.

Notes

The host is endemic and confined to the South Island (Cheesem. 1925, p.. 923).
The hyaline thin epispore characterizes the species.

Notes

Cunningham (1928) recorded the uredospore stage of this rust as Uredo moschata. Both host [Olearia moschata] and rust are endemic to New Zealand; it has been collected only from one locality in Canterbury.
