Abstract A description is provided for Puccinia antirrhini. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Antirrhinum majus, Antirrhinum spp. and Cordylanthus spp. DISEASE: Rust of antirrhinum. On leaves, calyces and capsules, destroying ovaries, reducing seed production and often killing the host. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Algeria, Canary Islands, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Rhodesia, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, United Arab Republic; Asia (Iran, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, U.S.S.R.), Australasia and Oceania (Australia, Hawaii, New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Channel Islands, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Rep. of Ireland, Italy, Madeira, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K., U.S.S.R., Yugoslavia), North America (Bermuda, Canada, U.S.A.); Central America (Guatemala). (CMI Map 40, ed. 4, 1965.) TRANSMISSION: Probably seed-borne (Noble & Richardson, 1968) but this remains to be definitely established. Earwigs (Forficula auricularid) prefer to eat rust pustules of Antirrhinum rather than healthy host material but spores in the faeces are non-viable (43, 2624).
