Melampsoridium betulinum from Betula verrucosa was found able in infection experiments to infect Alnus barbata, A. cordata, A. glutinosa, A. incana, A. orientalis, A. rhombifola , and A. viridis. Melampsoridium collections on Alnus spp. in Norway, Finland, Scotland, and Ireland were identified with M. betulinum. Alnus species seem to be poorer hosts for M. betulinum than the Betula species. M. alni is conspecific with M. betulinum .
