Facesoffungi Number: FoF 09996
Species Name Index Fungorum Number: IF 558588
Description
Spermogonia not found. Aecia peridermioid, intracortical in origin, becoming erumpent; aeciospores borne singly, ellipsoid, obovoid, or subglobose, 10–13 × 6–11 µm, wall hyaline, about 2.0–3.0 µm thick including verrucae connected by filaments, verrucae 1.4–2.5 µm high, densely verrucose, nailhead-like verrucae with 7–8 layers, with obviously smooth area on surface, contents yellow. Uredinia usually lacked, urediniospores occasionally accompanying with telia, echinulate, sometimes with smooth surface at apex. Telia hypophyllous, hair-like columns, 0.4–1.0 µm long, straight or slight curved, bright yellow; teliospores oblong, 35–61 × 9–18 µm, catenulate, wall yellowish brown, 0.4–0.9 µm thick, without surface ornamentations.
