This is an heteroecious species, the aecidia occurring on Ane Spp. ; 
this connection was first worked out by Tranzschel (1904). Da m чад от 
of the aecidia is perennial, and infected leaves are somewhat paler in адор 
This will appear more evident when one considers ће fact that the aecidial 
host is an introduced species and is found in but a few localities; yet this 
rust is prevalent throughout New Zealand on stone-fruits. McAlpine (1902, 
p. 23) describes and figures this fungus attacking the fruit and cortex of a 
peach-tree. On the bark large irregular cankered areas were formed, and 
sori of the rust were found deeply embedded in the mesocarp of the fruits. 
When the teleutosori are examined under a low power the spores are 
seen to be aggregated together in globose masses; higher magnification 
shows that the pedicels of the spores are firmly ‘agglutinated together. 
McAlpine appears to have been the first to record this peculiarity (1904, 
р. 348), and it forms one of the characters on which Arthur (1907, p. 150) 
erected the genus T'ranzschelia 
Characterized by the fusoid, verrucose uredospores, and strongly warted 
teleutospores. The grouping of the spores in globose masses is another 
feature peculiar to this species.
