Abstract

The aecial stage of Puccinia scirpi (Aecidium nymphoidis) is newly recorded on Nymphoides indica in Brazil. Both the host plant and the rust are known to have a wide distribution around the world but P. scirpi was not previously known to occur in South America. The fungus is described and illustrated.
