PUCCINIA URTICATA
Fig 1
DESCRIPTION: 1 - 10cm in length. From a few scattered cups on a pinkish-purple background to a whole host of cups on an orange disfigurement the fact is that only 1 clustercup grows on nettle and so the ID process is made easy. The orange cups have typical ragged edges and are easily found with a little patience. SPORES: N/A. HABITAT: On Nettle leaves especially near water. SEASON: Common. May to September.
