leaf (live) live leaf may be infected and damaged by hypophyllous, sometimes circinate uredium Puccinia pulverulenta - a rust fungus (Uredinales: Pucciniaceae) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [often causes weakness and yellowing of infected plants]
leaf (live) live leaf may be infected and damaged by hypophyllous pycnium Puccinia pulverulenta - a rust fungus (Uredinales: Pucciniaceae) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [often causes weakness and yellowing of infected plants]
