Review: Inoculum 58 (4), July 2007 top ↑
This book fills a void by providing the first comprehensive monograph of Hemileia including all known species. The book is well organized, concise, and beautifully illustrated. Introductory materials include a characterization of the genus, material and methods, taxonomic history, morphology and life cycle including a discussion on the development of suprastomatal sori, relation of Hemileia to other rust genera, and value of morphological characters at the species level. These sections are all clearly written and provide a good introduction to the genus. The key is primarily dependent on host family and genus and includes those members of the genus Uredo believed to be anamorphic species of Hemileia. A table that sorts Hemileia taxa by urediniospore length and echinulation is very helpful where host identification is uncertain. The bulk of the monograph is devoted to species descriptions. Each description contains information on type material, synonyms, relevant literature, hosts and distribution, specimens examined and any additional notes. Every species has been beautifully illustrated by excellent line drawings of uredinio- and teliospores. Gorgeous SEM photographs and cross sections of uredinia and telia illustrate the development and structure of suprastomatal sori and the unique nature of Hemileia urediniospores. Indices to rust and host names and a full citation of relevant literature add to the overall usefulness of the volume. This book is highly recommended for mycologists or pathologists who need to identify pathogens of tropical or subtropical hosts and for any mycologist with a passing interest in the rust fungi.
