on Phalaris etc
Phalaroides arundinacea, from González Fragoso (1924a): teliospores
gall
uredinia and telia amphigenous. Uredinia yellowish brown, soon naked, with rotund unicellular spores; ± 7 germination pores. Telia small, pulvinate, black; spores club-shaped, two-celled, 12-22 x 30-60 µm.
uredinia, telia
Poaceae, narrowly oligophagous
Drymochloa sylvatica; Festuca ovina; Phalaris canariensis; Phalaroides arundinacea.
Phalaris/Phalaroides are the most important hostplants.

notes
P. smilacearum-festucae Mayor, 1922 differs from sessilis only in slightly different measurements of the teliospores (12-23 x 35-56 µm); the species would live on Convallaria, Paris and Polygonatum, and alternate with Drymochloa sylvatica; whether it really is a an autonomous species is doubtful.
A similar doubt exists over P. festucina Sydow & Sydow, 1912 (Leopoldia comosa, tenuiflora, Muscari racemosum / Festuca ovina).
