Kuehneola is a genus of rust fungi in the family Phragmidiaceae. The widespread genus contains nine species.[1][2]
The genus name of Kuehneola is in honour of Julius Gotthelf Kühn (1825–1910), who was a German academic and agronomist and he was one of the founders of Plant Pathology.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Paul Wilhelm Magnus in Bot. Centralbl. vol.74 on page 169 in 1898.
