There are two genera of gall forming fungi on Acacia dealbata representative species being Uromycladium murphyi and Endoraecium carnegiei. Aside from using molecular diagnostic methods they can be distinguished by examination of the spores under a compound microscope (400x is adequate). For Endoraecium see: A.R. McTaggart, C. Doungsa-ard, A.D.W. Geering, M.C. Aime, R.G. Shivas (2015) A co-evolutionary relationship exists between Endoraecium (Pucciniales) and its Acacia hosts in Australia. Persoonia 35: 50–62.
I have only just read these comments 5 years later and have accordingly looked up the 2018 paper that was not published at the time of writing my book The fungus gall on Acacia dealbata is T Murphyi according to this list of hosts.
absolutely- just listened to it again and can hear Lit latopalmata, must have meant one but wrote the other... How top proceed with this submission, can it be duplicated to reflect the 5 species to get it out of the unverified box?
