Uromyces striatus is a fungal species and plant pathogen causing rust in Medicago species.

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.[2]

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) rust caused by Uromyces striatus is an important disease in many areas and is damaging to alfalfa grown for seed.[3]
