The current distribution of two rust fungi on Asteraceae, Puccinia distincta McAlpine on wild daisies (Bellis perennis L.) and Puccinia lagenophorae Cooke on groundsel (Senecio vulgaris L.), is described for Slovenia. The diagnostic features of both rust species are described using Slovenian material. Field observations suggest that P. lagenophorae is well-established across Slovenia whereas P. distincta is a recent arrival still spreading across the country. Although both species have an opsis-type life-cycle with aeciospores as the main carrier of infection and also share many morphological features, their different epidemiologies support their classification as two distinct species.
