Host: Rhagodia nutans R. Br. On leaves. Herb. No. 294. Seashore, Seatoun (Wellington), E. H. Atkinson ! G. H. C. 27 Jan., 1921.
II. Uredosori amphigenous, chiefly hypophyllous, scattered, bullate, reddish-brown, orbicular, 1-1.5 mm. diam., long covered, at length free and surrounded by the ruptured epidermis. Spores globose or obovate, 22-30 X 20-23 mmm.; epispore cinnamon-brown, sparsely and moderately echinulate, 2-2.5 mmin. thick, cell-contents granular, cinnamon-brown; germ-pores scattered, numerous (8-10), conspicuous.
Distribution : Victoria.
The host is indigenous, and is not uncommon on rocky areas near the sea-coast; it occurs also in eastern Australia. (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 578.)
The spore-measurements (20 X 15 mmm.) given by Cooke and Massee are much too small, as has been ascertained by McAlpine (1906, p. 207) from an examination of part of the type material.
Allan (1961) states that the host [Rhagodia triandra] is endemic, occurring in the North Island and in the north of the South Island. The rust was first described from Australia on Rhagodia billardieri (Cooke, 1887). In New Zealand it has been recorded only from Wellington Province.
