Is this an alien species in Europe?
If yes, we would need some scientific expertise in order to include it (taxonomic position, status, first record, synonyms, distribution, pathway, impacts, etc)

Persooniella saccardoi is synonymous of Puccinia saccardoi, a rust fungus affecting Goodeniaceae plants. In 2011 Puccinia saccardoi has been included in the Puccinia lagenophorae complex. The latter is an exotic species introduced from Australasia and actually distributed worldwide. Possibly the species spread worldwide through trading of ornamental hosts (Markus Scholler, Matthias Lutz, Alan R. Wood, Gregor Hagedorn, and Mechthilde Mennicken (2011) Taxonomy and phylogeny of Puccinia lagenophorae: a study using rDNA sequence data, morphological and host range features, Mycol Progress (2011) 10:175–187)
As a consequence I would suggest

Persooniella saccardoi ()
Taxonomic position: Eukaryota › Opisthokonta › Fungi › Dikarya › Basidiomycota › Pucciniomycotina › Pucciniomycetes › Pucciniales › Pucciniaceae › Puccinia 
Status: alien
First record: 1889 as Puccinia saccardoi, 1884 as Puccinia lagenophorae
Synonyms: = Puccinia saccardoi F. Ludw., Hedwigia 28: 362 (1889), = Puccinia lagenophorae Cooke, Grevillea 13 (65): 6 (1884)
Distribution: worldwide
Pathway: trading of plant material
Impact: pathogen of Goodeniaceae species
