Notes: Cunningham (1923b) described the species as Puccinia halorrhagidis but found that the
name was preoccupied. He renamed the New Zealand species P. toa. Cunningham (1931a)
stated that both hosts are indigenous and widespread in New Zealand; they occur also in
Australia and Haloragis erecta extends to Chile. The rust occurs sporadically in the South
Island and in the Wellington area in the North Island .
