Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rusts of Australia: Their Structure, Nature, and Classification
The Uredineae, or rusts, constitute one of the most important groups of parasitic fungi, and their ravages are known wherever plants are cultivated. The cereals and grasses of our fields, the fruit trees of our orchards, even the ornamental plants of our gardens, and many of our forest trees are attacked by members of this family, and their study is not only interesting from the point of view of the scientist, but from that of every grower of plants for pleasure or for profit. Rusts are usually so conspicuous that they attract the attention of even the ordinary observer, and they have been known and recognised even from the earliest times particularly from their blighting effects on the wheat and corn crops.
Although so long known as regards their naked-eye characters, and the effects they produce, their structure and life-history have only been understood within comparatively recent times, and even now there are many points concerning them which await investigation.
