------- cite Wang (1992) mentioning "a rust, suggested to be P. psidii, has recently also been reported from Taiwan on E. camaldulensis. In this case, only a uredinial state was reported and it is impossible to confirm whether the fungus was the same as P. psidii. Despite considerable effort, the fungus has not been seen again"
