HISTORY
A systematic study of rust fungi by G. H.
Cunningham, the first resident mycologist in New
Zealand, was his first major mycological undertak-
ing. In 1923 he produced a seminal paper, followed
by seven, almost yearly supplements (Cunningham
1923, 1924a, 1924b, 1926a, 1926b, 1927, 1928,
1930). This work culminated with the publication of
a rust flora (Cunningham 1931). The flora described
and figured 146 species, of which 113 (78%) were
native.
