Black-root disease has been known on coffee for some time, but has 
only recently been found on rubber. The specific name of the fungus 
is probably Rosellinia bunodes (Berk, and Broome) Sacc, but absolute 
certainty on this point could not be attained, organs of fructification 
being wanting.

be called Qamoderma ferrcum. Summary in English in Trop. Agr.,
