Abstract: Three rust species, Melampsora chelidonii-pierotii, M. humilis, and M. kiusiana, are recorded for the first time in China based on morphological features and rDNA ITS15.8S-ITS2 sequence information. New hosts are also reported: Salix raddeana for M. chelidoniipierotii; S. caprea and S. siuzevii for M. humilis; and S. triandra and S. starkeana for M. kiusiana.
