| Summary: | Melampsora epitea, known to cause rust on the complex of Salix retusa prostrate
willows distributed in the subalpine and alpine belt of the mountains of Central
Europe, is here documented for the first time in Montenegro and North Macedonia
growing at six localities. It is not new for Serbia, but the records come from a newly
reported host, namely Salix serpyllifolia. The pathogen’s distribution presumably is
wider than initially believed, and further surveys need to be conducted. |
