Coleosporium tussilaginis (Pers.) Lév., 1849 (a rust fungus)

Notes (MWS)

A very common rust with spermatia and aecia on *Pinus* and races that produce uredia and telia on the leaves and stems of various plants, especially *Asteraceae*, *Campanulaceae* and *Scrophulariaceae*. Most often seen on *Tussilago*, *Petasites* and *Campanula*.
