Uromyces cristulatus Tranzschel, 1910

on Euphorbia

gall

No host plant alternation, only blackish brown, hypophyllous telia. Teliospores one-celled, ob-pyriform, wall with confluent warts, forming low, shorter or longer irregular ridges. In the telia also a few spinulose urediniospores are formed, with 4 germination pores. Infected shoots are abnormally elongated, but otherwise there are no malformations.

host plants

Euphorbiaceae, narrowly monophagous

Euphorbia petrophila, seguieriana.

notes

Klenke & Scholler write that the telia develop on yellow leaf spots; moreover the sculpture of the teliospore wall would, contrary to the description by Gäumann, consist of polygonal plates.
