ancestral)<br />

Aecial host<br />

e.g., Ranunculaceae<br />

Telial host (II, III, IV)<br />

e.g., Prunoideae<br />

Tranzschel’s Law<br />

(Tranzschel 1904)<br />

reduction<br />

species A + B = correlated species<br />

Species B<br />

(micro-form,<br />

derived)<br />

Former aecial host<br />

(0, III; systemic)<br />

e.g., Ranunculaceae<br />

Species considered related to each other due to similarities in III morphology and a<br />

shared host, but with different life cycles.<br />

• Microcyclic species are derived<br />

• No microcyclic species in more “primitive” families (except for Chrysomyxa abietis)<br />

• Mostly confined to genera in the Pucciniaceae
