It affects also Rumex crispa (Curled dock), and it is also visible on those plants on the reserve. In fact it's a very common sight. This seems to be the organism which has won the contract for dismantling Rumex leaves.
Aside from the benefit of identifying this one rust, I now am likely in a position to add double figures of species as the winners of the contracts to dismantle other species/genera/families make themselves apparent.
I have saved some and now I'm looking forward to getting it under the microscope. not that saving iti s necessary, if you consider just how much sorrel and dock there is!
(note; check Uromyces rumicis)
