Roeslerina is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota phylum. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the phylum is unknown ( incertae sedis ), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any class, order, or family. [1]
The genus was circumscribed by Scott Alan Redhead in Canad. J. Bot. vol.62 on page 2514 in 1984 (published in 1985).
The genus name of Roeslerina was named as a diminutive form of Roesleria which in turn was named in honour of Leonard Roesler (1839–1910), who was a German-Austrian chemist and oenologist, he was Professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe in 1867. [2]
