gall

No host plant alternation; only uredinia and telia. Uredinia rust-coloured, mostly hypophyllous on brown leaf spots, soon naked, pulverulent. Urediniospores globular, verruculose, with 3 equatorial pores, capped by a papilla that strongly swells up in water. Telia rarely formed, dark brown, hypophyllous, naked. Teliospores mostly 2-celled; wall brown, spinulose, apically somewhat thickened; pedicel persistent, hyaline, 1-2 x the length of the spore.

host plants

Asteraceae, narrowly oligophagous

Argyranthemum frutescens, pinnatifidum; Chrysanthemum “chinense”, decaisneanum, indicum, morifolium, shimotomaii, zawadskii; Dendranthema grandiflorum, japonicum, lavandulifolium subsp. seticuspe, pacificum.

? Also Achillea phrygia (Bahçecioğlu & Kabaktepe). The reference to Artemisia spp. as a hostplant by Afshan ao must be the result of a misidentification.
