The image depicts two leaves of a plant exhibiting symptoms of rust disease caused by the fungus *Puccinia modiolae*. The leaf at the top left and its counterpart to the right are both displayed from the underside. The lower part of each leaf is shown in the bottom center.
Both leaves display pustules or "blister-like" eruptions filled with orange spores on their undersides, which are indicative of a rust infection. On the upper surface, the leaves show yellow-orange sunken spots that are also characteristic of this disease. These sunken spots may be difficult to discern at first glance due to their similarity in coloration to the surrounding leaf tissue.
