Puccinia oxalidis
Puccinia oxalidis
A bright orange rust fungus affecting some non-native members of the Sorrel family, including those with pink flowers (Oxalis rosea, O articulata, O debilis, O latifolia). Yellow uredinia are borne on the underside of the leaves. Telia are minute and rarely seen; aecia and spermogonia unknown in Europe. It does not cause galls, and does not affect the native Wood-sorrel Oxalis acetosella or the small-leaved yellow sorrels O corniculata and O exilis.
