Heufleria is a genus of fungi in the Rhytismatales order.[1]
The genus name of Heufleria is in honour of Ludwig Samuel Joseph David Alexander von Heufler (1817–1885), who was an Austrian baron and cryptogamist.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in Spighe Paglie on page 19 in 1853.
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.[3]
