Descriptions
Host: Dianella intermedia Endl. On leaves. Herb. No. 762. Horahora Rapids, Waikato River (Auckland); E. H. Atkinson ! 26 March, 1921.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, seated on reddish-purple spots which are visible on the upper surface, scattered, elliptical, 1 mm. long, or confluent and up to 5 mm. long, pulverulent, pallid brown, bullate, surrounded by the ruptured epidermis. Spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, 16-22 mmm. diam.; epispore hyaline, densely and finely echinulate, 1-5 mmm. thick, cell-contents granular, yellow; germ-pores scattered, numerous (6-8), obscure.
Distribution: Java; Ceylon; Hong-Kong.
The host is indigenous; and is widespread; it occurs also in Norfolk Island and Polynesia. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 715.)
Characterized by the small spores, densely and finely echinulate hyaline epispore, and numerous scattered, obscure germ-pores.
Although this form does not agree in all particulars with the description published by Dietel, it resembles it too closely to allow of its being separated as a distinct species. It agrees in most particulars with U. Dianellae Rae., so that this form is better classed as a synonym.
