Ceraceosorus bombacis is a species of smut fungus in the family Ceraceosoraceae. It infects the tree Bombax ceiba in India. This economically important tree is used as an ornamental tree.[2] C. bombacis was originally described as Dicellomyces bombacis in 1973, but B.K. Bakshi transferred it to the newly described Ceraceosorus three years later.[2]
