Puttemansia is a genus in the Tubeufiaceae family of fungi. [1]
The genus name of Puttemansia is in honour of Arsène Puttemans (1873–1937), who was a Belgian-Brazilian botanist (mycology) and plant pathologist, who taught plant pathology (about plant diseases) between 1903 and 1910 at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo. [2]
The genus was circumscribed by Paul Christoph Hennings in Hedwigia vol.41 (Issue 3) [104] on page 112 in 1902.
