 Note: Chupp (1954) listed Cercospora fukuii Yarnam. (Jour. Soc. Trop. Agr. 6:601. 1934) and C. boehmneriae Fukui (Jour. Plant Prot. 5:734, 1918) as synonyms of C. boehmeriae Peck in his monograph. However, C. boehmeriae Peck (N. Y. State Mus. nat. Hist. Ann. Rept. 34:48. 1881) is a distinct species and it differs from these two by having loose fascicles and coloured obclavate conidia.
