Abstract

Mayapple rust is a common and disfiguring disease that is widespread in temperate parts of Eastern North America. Puccinia podophylli, the etiological agent of this rust, has been shown to be distantly related to both Puccinia and Uromyces as exemplified by their types. A systematic study was made to address the generic classification of P. podophyllii. Phylogenetic analyses of two rDNA loci from multiple North American specimens support the non-congenerity of this taxon with other genera of Pucciniaceae. Based on historical literature and type material, this species was found to represent the type of the forgotten genus Allodus and it is correctly named Allodus podophylli. A neotype is designated for Puccinia podophylli Schwein. (≡ Allodus podophylli) and a lectotype is designated for Aecidium podophylli.
