The host is endemic and rather uncommon, being confined to the 
Tararua Range in the North Island, and to the subalpine scrub of the 
Westland district in the South Island (Cheeseman, 1906, Р. 287). 
The aecidia form bright-orange patches up to 25mm. long on the 
leaves; they are much more conspicuous than the enti which are 
easily overlooked. Young teleutospores have orange contents, and the 
germ-pores are strongly papillate; aíter a time the colour changes to 
light Sun. and the papilla collapses or becomes inverted, forming à 
minute conical indentation in the epispore above the germ-pore; this 
peculiarity is more noticeable over the apical, but is quite common above 
the basal pore. 
his rust is named in honour of Esmond H. Atkinson, of the sg a 
der 
sidering the ida nature of much of the material as in many 
instances leaves alone are collected and forwarded. 
Characterized by the thick-walled epispore of the teleutospore, and the
