What does TELIUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
The blister-like patch on a host plant in which a rust fungus forms its thick-walled teliospores.
In the life cycle of a rust fungus the telium is usually the last spore-bearing stage, often appearing dark brown or black on leaves and stems late in the season. The spores it produces survive the winter and later give rise to the next generation of the fungus. The plural is telia, and the word is almost wholly confined to mycology and plant pathology.
