Comments.

Hemileia mussaendae Vienn.-Bourg. was the first name published for this species. Because the type specimen lacked teliospores, Cummins (1960) established a new name using another type specimen. Because Cummins’ (1960) name is a later homonym of Hemileia mussaendae Vienn.-Bourg., Deighton (1970) provided a new name based on the same type specimen. With the new ICN, the oldest epithet has priority.
