Description
Triphragmium is a group of rust fungi known for its distinctive three-celled teliospores, which resemble tiny three-lobed structures. These fungi are plant pathogens, primarily infecting members of the rose family. They have a complex life cycle involving multiple spore stages and can cause noticeable spots or lesions on host plant leaves. Some species in this group can overwinter on plant debris.
