"Phe host is an endemic species. The sori are covered by the dense 
tomentum which clothes the leaf- arc Teleutospores are rare, 
occur in the same sori as the uredospor 
Characterized by the thickened apex, poi P epispore, and large size 
of the teleutospores.

to Puccinia novae-zelandiae G. Н. Cunn., but is readily ашынан by 
the linear-oblong spores, which attain a length of 140 mmm
