C. fraseri is an endemic species occurring in both Islands (Allan 1961, p. 517). The symptom expression is an increase in the diameter of infected stems while leaves are not infected and remain unchanged.

Systemic, causing hypertrophy in infected stems; hymenium white, scanty, basidia at first protruding between epidermal cells in fascicles of 3-6, forming a semi-continuous layer over surface of stem at maturity, cylindrical to subclavate, projecting 25-35 µ beyond cuticle, 4.5-6.5 µ, wide; sterigmata 2, conical, 5-7 µ, long; basidiospores hyaline, smooth, cylindrical or nearly so, occasionally moderately hooked at base, 16.0-23.0 x 3.5-6.5 µ, average 19.0 x 4.5 µ., germinating spores aseptate; conidia absent.
New Zealand.
Systemicum, efficiens hypertrophiam in stirpibus infectis, hymenio albo, exiguo; basidia cylindrica vel subclavata, 3-6-nario disposita, 25-35/t ultra cuticulam eminentia, 4.5?6.5/i lata; sterigmata 2, conica 5-7/t longa; basidiosporae hyalinae, leves, cylindricae vel paene cylindricae, interdum modice hamatae ad basim, 16.0-23.0 (19.0) x 3.5-6.5 (4.5) µ, sporae germinantes aseptatae; conidia absentia.
