Ceratocystis fimbriata Ellis & Halst. 1890

Slade (1960) described black rot caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata as a disease of tubers and of shoot cuttings of kumara (Ipomoea batatas.) He emphasised the severity of the disease in the Auckland Province and stated that although it was first recorded at Kaitaia in 1947 it had already curtailed the growing of kumaras on Matakana Island, Bay of Plenty. He recorded it from Gisborne. In recent years, by the maintenance of strict crop hygiene, especially in the cutting beds, the disease has been successfully controlled. In the Auckland Province the disease is of considerable economic importance.

taxonomic status
The original description of Ceratocystis fimbriata was from sweet potato in the USA. Analyses of DNA sequences have shown that the fungus treated as C. fimbriata in various studies and from various countries and host plants, represent a species complex that includes many different cryptic species. The name C. fimbriata should be restricted to the fungus from sweet potato and to other isolates belonging to the same phylogenetic species. Epitypified by Marincowitz et al. 2020.
