Description: Type: Rust and Smut Fungi; Description: Uredinia scattered, rounded, pale lemon yellow; on the lower surfaces of leaves deeply immersed in the tomentum. Urediniospores subglobose to obovate, 24–40 × 20–24 μm, hyaline, covered with small deciduous verrucae. Telia similar to and associated with the uredinia. Teliospores elliptic-oblong, 1-septate, 64–72 × 30–40 μm, smooth, hyaline; pedicel persistent.
Distribution: Distribution: Mackenzie.; 1st Record: Cunningham (1928: as Uredo moschatus).

Notes: Cunningham (1928) recorded the uredospore stage of this rust as Uredo moschata. Both
host [Olearia moschata] and rust are endemic to New Zealand; it has been collected only
from one locality in Canterbury.

Description: II. Uredosori hypophyllous, scattered, orbicular, 0.5-1 mm. diam., pulverulent, pallid lemon-yellow,
deeply immersed in the tomentum of the leaf. Spores subglobose or obovate, 24-30 x
20-24 mmm. ; epispore hyaline, 1 mmm. thick, finely and closely covered with small round-topped deciduous
verrucae; germ pores equatorial, 3-4, not definite, appearing usually as thin
places in the wall; immixed with numerous cylindrical, hyaline paraphyses.
Notes: The host is endemic and confined to the South Island (Cheesem. 1925, p.. 923).
The hyaline thin epispore characterizes the species.
