(all Myrtaceae) in central and northern Taiwan in spring of 2025, indicating a sudden and widespread outbreak in Taiwan. On M. leucadendra and S. jambos, the uredinia were associated with wilt and death of young shoots and suckers. Leaf spots were found on adult trees, and in Syzygium sp. also on seedlings. Teliospores were found only on Rh. tomentosa. ITS rDNA sequences supported the species identification of the rust fungus.
