Nowakowskiella Explained

Nowakowskiella is the sole genus of fungi in the family Nowakowskiellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Joseph Schröter in 1897, while the family was originally circumscribed by Frederick Kroeber Sparrow in 1942, and then published validly in 2009.

The genus name of Nowakowskiella is in honour of Leon Nowakowski (1847-1918), who was a Polish naturalist and botanist (Algology and Mycology) from Warsau.^[1]

The genus was published in Nat. Pflanzenfam. (Engler & Prantl) vol.1 (Issue1) on pages 77, 82 and 134 in 1897.
