Gymnosporangium clavipes

''Gymnosporangium clavipes'' is a plant pathogen, a fungus that causes cedar-quince rust. Similar to ''Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae'' and ''Gymnosporangium globosum'', the fungus infects a wide range of Rosaceae, such as apple, hawthorn and quince trees, and also requires an evergreen host such as Eastern Red Cedar or a number of other juniper species to complete its life cycle.
