title: Notes on a plant parasite fungus in Portugal: Gymnosporangium cornutum.
abstract: A rust fungus identified as Gymnosporangium cornutum was found on Sorbus aucuparia in Serra da Estrela (Manteigas), and the disease was severe at that location. Despite the abundance and worldwide occurrence of the genus Gymnosporangium, studies in Portugal are still limited.
