Catkin Yew

The Catkin Yew (Amentotaxus argotaenia) is a species in the genus Amentotaxus. It is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in temperate and boreal forests, often at higher elevations.

Uromyces junci es un hongo roya que parasita los juncos (especies de Juncus), causando lesiones pustulares de color marrón anaranjado en tallos y hojas de sus plantas hospedadoras en humedales y hábitats ribereños. Este biotrofo obligado depende enteramente del tejido hospedador vivo para completar su ciclo de vida. Se distribuye por regiones templadas de Europa y más allá, donde quiera que se encuentren hospedadores Juncus adecuados en entornos húmedos.
