Puccinia pelargonii-zonalis Doidge, 1926 (Pelargonium Rust)

Date: 28 November 2006
Location: Berks, England
Voucher: 28/11/2006[A]
(Please quote this in any queries about this record)
State: Uredinia (II)
Record Summary: Uredinia on underside of Pelargonium leaves
Associated organism: hypophyllous on live leaf of Pelargonium
Identification Notes: Mainly on leaves, where they are hypophyllous; but occasionally on petiole. Uredinia forming loose piles of uredospores. Forming a ring around a central uredinium.

Uredospores: pyriform, brown, finely echinulate, with two pores easily visible in lactophenol, 23-30/22-23µm, some with persistent stalk.

Teliospores: occasional, amongst uredospores, stalked, septate, both cells with a single pore, 43-56/19-24µm.
