no alternation of host plant. Spermogonia epiphyllous, between epidermis and cuticula, often near the aecia. Aecia mostly hypophyllous, yellow, minute but larger on the veins, without a peridium but with a coronet of hyaline, sausage-shaped curved paraphyses; spores produced in chains, densely verrucose. Uredinia like the aecia, but spores single, pedicellate, strongly verrucose; the spores dry out quickly, and then look whitish. Telia hypophyllous black; spores long pedicellate, elliptic, dark brown, transversely divided into c. 4 almost smooth cells, the terminal one rounded, without an apiculus.

host plants

Rosaceae, narrowly oligophagous

Drymocallis rupestris; Potentilla alba, alchemilloides, argentea, ?caulescens, carniolica, grandiflora, lineata, micrantha, montana, nevadensis, patula, pyrenaica, sterilis.

Niet op Fragaria (Klenke & Scholler). The references to that host in Termorshuizen & Swertz probably concern P. sterilis, that has a treacherous similarity with F. vesca.
