Descriptions
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.
(i.) Uredo antarctica Berk., Fl. Antarct., p. 176, 1847.
Host: Lumla crinita Hook. f. The host is confined to the Auckland and Campbell Islands.

Puccinia tenuispora McAlpine 1906
The rust occurs in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. Cunningham (1923b) misidentified this rust as Puccinia obscura Schroet. After examination of European material of this species Cunningham (1931a) classified it as P. tenuispora. The rust occurs commonly in the South Island and in the Wellington Province [on Luzula spp.].
Puccinia tenuispora McAlpine 1906
Auckland Islands (Cunningham1931; McKenzie and Foggo 1989), on Luzula crinita Hook.f. [Juncaceae]. Campbell Island (Cunningham 1931;9McKenzie and Foggo 1989), on L. crinita, J.D. Hooker (Kew (M) 52413; Berkeley 1845 – holotype of Uredo antarctica); fence line from Tucker Cove, on Luzula sp., March9, 2000, E.H.C. McKenzie (PDD 72448 – II).
Puccinia tenuispora was described from Victoria, Australia, on Luzula campestris (L.) DC. In New Zealand,it is known on several species of Luzula from the Tararua Ranges southward, including the Chatham Islands. The anamorph, Uredo antarctica was described from a Campbell Island specimen. The subglobose to ellipsoidal urediniospores of this specimen measure 22.5–29.5 x 18–24 µm (mean of 20 spores, 25.4 x 21.2 µm); this is very similar to the measurements of 22–27 x 16–24 µm, mean 25 x 21 µm given by Cunningham (1931) for urediniospores of P. tenuispora. There is no specimen in Herb. PDD to substantiate Cunningham’s (1931) record of this fungus from Auckland Islands.
