Puccinia sessilis is a fungal plant pathogen, also known as Arum Rust or Ransons Rust.[1] It commonly infects Arum maculatum and Allium ursinum causing yellow to orange circular patches on leaves. On the underside it produces raised orange aecia commonly covered in spores. It is common in Eurasia in the Spring.
Other species affected by this rust include Convallaria majalis, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Dactylorhiza incarnata, Dactylorhiza majalis, Gymnadenia conopsea, Neottia ovata, Paris quadrifolia and Phalaris arundinacea [2]
A specialised form, Puccinia sessilis f.sp. narcissi-orchidacearum Boerema & Kesteren (Aecidium narcissi) is a cause of rust in daffodils (Narcissus) and various wild Orchidaceae.[3]

Puccinia is a genus of fungi. All species in this genus are obligate plant pathogens and are known as rusts.[1] The genus contains about 4000 species.[2]
Taxonomy[edit]
Examples of Puccinia rusts and the diseases they cause:
- Puccinia asparagi - Asparagus rust
- Puccinia graminis - Stem rust, also known as black rust
- Puccinia horiana - Chrysanthemum white rust
- Puccinia mariae-wilsoniae - Spring beauty rust
- Puccinia poarum - Coltsfoot rust gall
- Puccinia psidii - Guava rust or eucalyptus rust
- Puccinia recondita - Brown rust
- Puccinia sessilis - Arum rust and Ransoms rust
- Puccinia striiformis - Stripe rust, also known as yellow rust
- Puccinia triticina - Wheat leaf rust, also known as brown rust
The rust species Puccinia obtegens has shown some promise for controlling Canada thistle, but it must be used in conjunction with other control measures to be effective.[3]
Another leaf rust species, Puccinia myrsiphylli, has been used as an effective biocontrol agent for infestations of the common form of bridal creeper (Asparagus asparagoides) in Australia since 2000.[4]

Puccinia is a genus of rust fungus that causes rust diseases on most major crop cereals, except rice. It is considered the most destructive of the rust fungi genera and has been a significant agricultural pathogen for thousands of years, able to incite serious epidemics.
The common name of rust fungi refers to the appearance of infected plants, which develop numerous small, red-orange lesions on leaves and stems, as if they are rusting. These lesions contain up to 350,000 spores. The life cycle of Puccinia fungi is complex, involving five different spore types.
