New zealand rust fungi: Additions and corrections

Abstract

An original specimen of Aecidium otagense Lindsay on Clematis paniculata Gmel. has been located and a lectotype designated. The first record of Aecidium senecionis (Pers.) Lév. (syn. Puccinia lagenophorae Cooke) from New Zealand is discussed. Puccinia aorangi G. H. Cunn. on Celmisia species is reduced to synonymy with the earlier described P. egmontensis G. H. Cunn. lt is suggested that Urómycladium notabile (Ludwig) McAlp. is restricted to Acacia species with bipinnate leaves, whereas U. tepperianum (Sacc.) McAlp. is found on those with leaves reduced to phyllodes or spines. Two rusts, Puccinia microspora Diet. and P. zoysiae Diet., are newly recorded from New Zealand, and 38 additional host records for rust fungi previously known from New Zealand are listed. © 1981 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
