Notes: Although Puccinia clavata was recorded by Cunningham (1931a) on Clematis paniculata
(syn. C. indivisa), Baylis (1954) showed by inoculation experiments that it infected only
Clematis forsteri (C. hexasepala). He named the uredospore form infecting C. paniculata as
a new species, Uredo puamhananga Baylis. Puccinia clavata is indigenous to New Zealand.
