| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | The work consists of an alphabetical list of plant genera within their families (old style, eg Compositae, rather than Asteraceae. Also Conifers are under "Coniferae" and ferns are united into "Polypodiaceae s.l."). For each genus, the rust species are listed with their spore stages, distinguishing features and host species. Alternate hosts have separate entries and are cross-referenced to the other hosts. An appendix provides updates and corrections to the 2000 Rust Checklist of the same author. |
| Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | *Puccinia oxalidis*, mentioned under *Oxalis*, is said to alternate with *Berberis* but not listed under this host. *Calystegia* is listed as *Convolvulus*. *Melampsora epitea* not listed under *Salix caprea*. *Melampsora caprearum* listed under *Salix capreav is listed as vM. larici-caprearum* under the alternate host, *Larix*. |
