uredinia and telia identical to those of Chrysomyxa pyrolae but in an unusual order: in spring sori of telia mixed with uredinia, in summer sori covering the whole underside of the leaf, again with uredinia only.

Contrary to the closely related pyrolae, ramischiae doesn’t seem to pass through stages on Picea.
