Meadowsweet Rust Fungus

Meadowsweet Rust Fungus - Triphragmium ulmariae

Description

Triphragmium ulmariae affects Meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria.  There is no host plant alternation.  The bright orange aecial stage causes galls on the leaves and petioles, which become twisted and distorted.  It is mainly recorded on the underside leaf-veins and petioles.  The uredinia are orange, on the leaf undersides, and are not gall causing.  Later on, blackish telia are present on leaf undersides.
