This species is separated from the preceding on account of the 
minutely - verruculose epispore of the teleutospores, sparsely - warted 
cinnamon-coloured epispore of the uredospores, and different sorus 
characters. Although both occur on the same host, they show little 
other than a general resemblance to each other
