Puccinia malvacearum, also known as hollyhock or mallow rust, is a fungal species within the genus Puccinia known for attacking members of the family Malvaceae. An autoecious pathogen, it can complete its life cycle using a single host.
It was originally found on the leaves of a species of Malva in Chile.[3] Other plants also affected by the rust include Abutilon, Alcea (Hollyhock),[4] Hibiscus, Lavatera, Malvastrum and Sphaeralcea.
Suggested control measures (in the US), include sanitation (removal or destruction of affected plants or plant portions) or treatment with fungicides.
