Brook-Side Alder

The Brook-Side Alder (Alnus serrulata) is a species in the genus Alnus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Uromyces junci is a rust fungus that parasitizes rushes (Juncus species), causing orange-brown pustular lesions on stems and leaves of its host plants in wetland and waterside habitats. This obligate biotroph depends entirely on living host tissue to complete its life cycle. It is distributed across temperate regions of Europe and beyond, wherever suitable Juncus hosts occur in moist environments.
