Description: 0. Unknown.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, when aggregated into small groups, and eaulicolous when crowded
on inflated, sometimes distorted areas which may attain a length of 25 mm. or more, and on
fruits when scattered evenly over the carpels ; peridia cupulate, 0.3-0.5 mm. diam., apex
slightly erumpent, expanded but not revolute, lacerate when old. Spores subglobose or
polygonal, 18-24 mmm. diam. ; epispore hyaline, 1 mmm. thick, finely and densely
verruculose.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, scattered, orbicular, 0.5 mm. diameter, pulverulent, pallid brown,
partly covered by the ruptured epidermis. Spores obovate or subglobose, 22-28 x 20-25
mmm. ; epispore tinted lemon yellow, 1.5 mmm. thick, finely and rather sparsely echinulate ;
germ pores equatorial, 4, conspicuous.
III. Teleutosori similar to the uredosori but chestnut-brown. Spores elliptical or subclavate,
28-35 x 18-24 mmm. ; apex rounded, not thickened, base rounded, basal cell slightly
narrower; slightly constricted at the septum; epispore smooth, 2 mmm. thick, chestnutbrown;
pedicel deciduous, hyaline, to 35 x 8 mmm.; germ pore of the upper cell apical, basal pore
immediately above the pedicel, both often papillate and conspicuous.
Notes: The host is endemic and occurs in both Islands (Cheesem. 1925, p. 683). This species
resembles most closely P. Anisotominis G. H. Cunn. on Anisotome Haastii, but is separated
from this species in that the apices of the aecidiospores are not thickened, and by the much
smaller teleutospores, those of P. Anisotominis being 40-60 x 17-22 mmm.
The rust is named in honour of Sir Joseph Kinsey, a staunch supporter of New Zealand
botanical research.

Notes: The host plant [Angelica geniculata] and rust are both endemic to New Zealand. The
rust occurs only in Canterbury.

Notes: The following species and form-species have been recorded as occurring in New Zealand,
but, as I have not seen specimens, I am unable to give descriptions; moreover, as in most
instances the published descriptions are so fragmentary as to be useless for comparative
purposes, I have not included them here.
(e.) Aecidium Anisotomes Reich., Ardt. Sitzungber. K. Akad. der Wissensch., p. 3, 1865.
Host: Angelica geniculata Hook. f.
Possibly Puccinia cuniculi G. H. Cunn., although the description does not agree with that of
the aecidium of this host.
