Collections Examined

Host: Anisotome latifolia Hook. f. (=Ligusticum latifolium Hook. f.). On leaves. Herb. No. 41. Campbell Islands, T. Kirk! 1890. (Type collection.)

Description

II. Uredosori amphigenous, crowded or scattered, seldom confluent, irregular in shape, usually elliptical when up to 4 mm. long, bullate, pallid ferruginous, long covered by the epidermis. Spores globose or shortly elliptical, 25-35 X 22-32 mmm.; epispore hyaline, minutely and densely verruculose (appearing smooth when wet), up to 6 mmm. thick, slightly thickened at the apex (2-3 mmm.), cell-contents granular, tinted cinnamon; pedicel persistent, hyaline, fragile, up to 25 X 5 mmm.; germ-pores indistinct.

Distribution

Distribution: Campbell Islands.

Notes

The host is endemic, and confined to the Campbell and Auckland Islands. (Cheeseman, 1906. p. 215.)
This species is characterized by the almost smooth thick and hyaline epispore. This may prove to be a species of Uromyces, but this can be verified only by germinating the spores, and as the material at hand is too old (all attempts to germinate the spores having failed) it is retained here for the present.
