The extinct genus Hedstroemia was once thought to be a rivulariacean cyanobacterium.^{[ needs update? ]} It forms oval blobs composed of sinuous tubes that have rounded outlines and occurs in conjunction with Solenopora .^[3]

Hedstroemia was formerly assigned to the now obsolete taxon porostromata.^[4] In 2020, the genus was assigned to the cyanobacteria order Nostocales.^[5]
