Notes: Rust on iris was introduced into New Zealand with bulbs of Iris xiphium imported from Holland
(Dingley and Brien, 1956). In the following season it was recorded in Wellington, Auckland, and
Nelson districts. The rust occurs sporadically on Iris spp. throughout New Zealand but recently it
appears to be well established in the Wairarapa area. Say (1964) noted it was not widespread in
New Zealand.
