Abstract
Leaf and tendril rust of peas, caused by Uromyces minor, is reported for the first time in Australia, from northern Tasmania. This rust was first recorded in Australia on Trifolium dubium from King Island, Bass Strait, in 1979. The biology of the rust, its host range and relationship to other pea rusts are included. Information on all rust species reported from peas is summarised, brief notes on Australian reports of other pea rusts are provided and the quarantine significance of the finding of U. minor on peas in Australia is discussed.
