Distribution : Australia ; North and South America; Europe; Asia. 
та е hosts are endemic : some are apparently widely distributed over 
oth Islands; others appear to be confined to a few localities (Cheeseman, 
1906, pp. 175-85). 
е commonly finds all three spore-forms on the same host plant. 
Plants infected with the aecidial stage become somewhat distorted and paler 
1n colour than normal. 
noe this species differs somewhat in sorus characters from the 
‘uropean forms, I find that on comparison the teleutospores are identical.
