Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. 1853

Neill (1941) discussed the occurrence of ergot in seed in seed heads of grasses in New Zealand; he studied cultures from the infected seed heads or "ergots" from inflorescences from a number of species of grass. Dingley (1954) stated that C. purpurea first appeared in New Zealand about 1875 and has since become widespread. Latch (1966b) noted that in Lolium perenne infection of seed in a seed sample can be as high as 10%. It is recorded on 12 indigenous and 20 introduced grasses. There are no reports in New Zealand of stock poisoning from this fungus. As the strains that attack wheat rarely occur, and as rye is rarely grown, the disease is of little economic importance in cereal production in New Zealand.
