Lanzia is a genus of fungi within the family Rutstroemiaceae.[1]
The genus name of Lanzia is in honour of Matteo Lanzi (1824-1908), who was an Italian doctor, botanist (Mycology and Algology) and diatom researcher. He worked as a lecturer at the University in Rome.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Bot. Centralbl. vol.18 on pages 218 and 306 in 1884.
