Distribution Patterns in Melampsorella in the National Forests and Parks of the Western States
Pady SM. 1942. Distribution Patterns in Melampsorella in the National Forests and Parks of the Western States. Mycologia. 34(6):p. 606-627
The discussion of 'witches' brooms' on conifers contains sections on Grand Canyon National Park and the part of Kaibab National Forest immediately adjacent to the park (p. 612-3). Some of the brooms in this area were unusually large. Infection can lead to the premature death of the tree.
