Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Sorts out the considerable confusion in smuts, with several major recent splits and reclassifications following DNA work. Lists new records, new names and dispositions of many smuts in the recent Basidiomycete checklist, and some new names and corrections since. Lists the host plants for each species.

Indispensible for anybody studying these plant diseases.
