Puccinia oxalidis is a fungus species in the genus Puccinia. This species is a causal agent of rust on plants in the genus Oxalis, such as Oxalis articulata. The disease appears as yellow dots on the reverse of the leaves. The aecial stage can also be found on Berberis repens.[2] It was originally found on Oxalis species in Mexico.[3]
