The fungus grows in the petioles and midribs of the perennial plant meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), a member of the rose family, causing swelling and distortion. Sori develop with bright orange spores.[3] The rust's spores reach the new meadowsweet plants via air movements.
The rust has a severe effect on the survival of meadowsweet seedlings.
