Puccinia plagianthi McAlpine 1895 [1894]

This rust was first recorded by Wakefield (1917) on Hoheria. Cunningham (1923b) using the same specific epithet described it as a species morphologically distinct from Puccinia plagianthi. Later (1931a) he concluded that it was synonymous with P. plagianthi. Rust on Plagianthus and Hoheria is common in areas from Taranaki southwards in the North Island and in the South Island. It is an indigenous species occurring also in Tasmania. All host plants are endemic to New Zealand.

Puccinia plagianthi McAlpine 1895 [1894]

Type: Rust and Smut Fungi; Description: Spermagonia in scattered groups, minute, immersed, yellow; on both sides of the leaf. Telia clustered, circular, dark brown, up to 2 mm in diameter, associated with pale yellow, brown or grey irregular blotches, up to 4 cm long; coincident on both surfaces of leaves, also associated with large, irregular, distorted areas on stems. Teliospores elliptical, 1-septate, 30–40 × 16–22 μm, finely pseudo-reticulate, golden brown; pedicel deciduous.
Distribution: Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Wanganui, Wellington, Wairarapa, Nelson, Westland, Fiordland, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury, Dunedin, Southland.; 1st Record: Cunningham (1923a).
Significance: None.; Host(s): Hoheria angustifolia, H. glabrata, H. lyallii, H. populnea, Plagianthus divaricatus, P. regius.
Sori teleutosporiferi hypophylli vel caulicoli, sparsi, rotundati vel oblongi, saepe confluentes, epidermide lacerato cineti, castanei, 0.5-1 mm. diametro, maculis parvis atro-purpureis insidentes. Teleutosporae ellipticae vel oblongae, medio vix constrictae, apice rotundatae non incrassatae, brunneae, episporio minute punctato-granuloso, 35-40 x 15-17 µ; pedicelli hyalini, decid i [sic], 30-80 µ longi.
Near to P. Plagianthi McAlp., but distinguished by the smaller spores, with granular (not reticulate) epispore. From P. Abutili it differs in the narrower spores with more finely granular epispore.
NEW ZEALAND. On leaves and stems of Hoheria populnea ("Lacebark"), A.H. Cockayne (1917).
