Uromyces otakou G. Cunn. 1923

This endemic rust occurs throughout the South Island and in the Wellington Province in the North Island of New Zealand. All host species [Poa spp.] are indigenous. Three are endemic, whilst Poa caespitosa occurs also in Tasmania and Australia.

Uromyces otakou G. Cunn. 1923

Campbell Island, east of Beeman Hill, on Poa sp. [Poaceae], March 6, 2000, E.H.C. McKenzie (PDD 83453 – II).
This rust is endemic to New Zealand, occurring on both native and introduced species of Poa. Microscopically, the uredinia of U. otakou differ from those of Puccinia brachypodii var. poae-nemoralis, the other common rust on Poa spp., by the absence of paraphyses. The germ pores on urediniospores of U. otakou are more obvious than those of P. brachypodii var. poae-nemoralis, and they have a slight, but noticeable, cap.
