On April 26, 1939, H. Zavřel discovered Puccinia scillae Linh. in a riparian forest Zebračka near Přerov, thus discovering it for Czechoslovakia. Until recently, this rust had only been published from one locality in the Slovak Karst. The spermogonia of Puccinia scillae were later found in herbarium specimens. This paper provides a description of the rust, its biology, and its distribution, taking into account host plants, climate, and altitude.
