The circinate arrangement of the sori, on paler spots, is very similar in both species. Distribution : Central and Western Europe. 93. Puccinia Acetosae Korn. Uredo Acetosae Sebum. Plant.

There is no doubt that this species is often mistaken for Uromyces Acetosae. In the absence of the two-celled teleutospores, which are rare, it could be distinguished mainly by its smaller sori, and more spiny uredospores (
