Type species | |
Kwoniella mangrovensis |
Kwoniella is a genus of fungi in the family Cryptococcaceae. The genus originally contained the single species Kwoniella mangrovensis, found in the Florida Everglades and The Bahamas. [1] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however, now extended the genus to eleven species, most known only from their yeast states. [2]
The genus was named in recognition of Dr K.J. Kwon-Chung for her research contributions to the Tremellales. [3]
