Brown parallel striae run over the leaves; they later disintegrate, splitting the leaf into ribbons. Spores dark brown, 8-12 x 9-15 \u00b5m, roundish-oval, the wall densely covered with short blunt tubercles.<\/p>\n

notes<\/h3>\n

In the past a number of species have been recognised within the Ustilago striiformis<\/em> complex, mainly based on the association with their host plant. Because no morphological characters existed to distinguish these species, they later were reunited by most authors, including V\u00e1nky, and in the Index Fungorum.<\/p>\n

Kruse ao have reinstated many of these species, and described some new. They based themselves on a study of the DNA of type specimens (not of U. striiformis<\/em> itself), and on a limited amount of fresh material. The width of variation inn the genetic material therefore is not well known, even less the precision of the correlation with the host species. Generally, \u201cUstilago striiformis sensu lato\u201d<\/em> remains the safest identification.<\/p>\n
