Notes: In New Zealand, Puccinia coronata has been commonly found on Holcus lanatus wherever the host plant grows. However, in 1998 P. hordei was collected for the first time on H. lanatus in New Zealand (PDD 69785, 70648, 85516). Rust was common on H. lanatus on Campbell Island in 2000, and it was also determined as P. hordei, although no teliospores were found. Overseas, H. mollis is well known as a host of P. hordei. P. hordei is common and widespreadon barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and barley grasses (Critesion spp.) in New Zealand.

Notes: Rust on barley was recorded from New Zealand in the Wanganui area by Blundell (1899). Cunningham (1922b) recorded the rust under the species Puccinia simplex Erikss. and Henn.; in 1931 he listed P. simplex as a synonym of P. anomala Rostr. McNabb (1962a) listed P. anomala as a synonym of P. hordei. In some seasons in some parts of New Zealand rust on barley can be of considerable importance. The aecidial stage has not been recorded in this country.
