Puccinia adoxae
Puccinia adoxae causes galls on Moschatel (Adoxa moschatellina); the plant is stunted with swollen, distorted leaves and stems. Only chocolate-brown telia are formed, on both sides of the leaf, on petioles and stems. The teliospores are two-celled.
Puccinia albescens also affects on this host, but produces pale yellow aecia; telia are rarely produced
Photograph the dark brown telia on the host. Ensure you have noted the host-plant species in your comments
