Meadowsweet rust (Triphragmium ulmariae) develops as a chemically induced swelling, arising from the lower surface of the leaves of meadowsweet.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The fungus attacks the petioles and / or midribs of the perennial Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) plant, a member of the Rosaceae family, causing swelling and distortion. Clusters of sporangia develop with bright orange spores.[1]
