Puccinia allii
This affects Allium species, including leeks, chives, garlic and onions, sometimes causing serious distortion. There is no host alternation, and the whitish aecia, spermogonia, yellow uredinia and dark telia are produced on the leaves.
It is not listed as a gall-causer in Redfern & Shirley (2023). It may be a complex of several species.
Grows on Allium species.
When the shoots of the host plants appear.
Widespread in England and Wales, less records from elsewhere in Britain.
Thought to be fairly frequent in Leicestershire and Rutland.
