Karstenia is a genus of fungi in the order Rhytismatales. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown ( incertae sedis ), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. [2]
The genus name of Karstenia is in honour of Petter Adolf Karsten (1834–1917), who was a Finnish born mycologist. [3]
The genus was circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in Acta Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. vol.2 (issue 6) on page 166 in 1885.
