The uredospore stage alone has been collected in New Zealand. The

Distribution : Australia ; Europe. 
The host, a native of on and Asia, has become more or less 
naturalized throughout the warmer parts of New Zealand. The epispore 
of the teleutospore is seen to be minutely verruculose when the spores are 
mounted dry and examined. Characterized by the verruculose epispore 
and non-thickened apex of the teleutospore.
