It was originally found on the leaves of Genista tinctoria, Medicago sativa, Medicago falcata, Medicago media, Medicago lupulina, Medicago scutellata, and also Trifolium arvense in Germany.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) rust caused by Uromyces striatus is an important disease in many areas and is damaging to alfalfa grown for seed.Koepper JM (1942) Relative resistance of alfalfa species and varieties to rust caused by Uromyces striatus. Phytopathology, 32, pages 1048–1057
