Resendea is a genus of fungi in the Microthyriaceae family; according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement in this family is uncertain.[1]
The genus name of Resendea is in honour of Flávio (Ferreira) Pinto de Resende (1907–1967), who was a Portuguese botanist, Professor of Botany at the University of Lisbon and also director of the University’s Botanical Garden.[2][3]
The genus was circumscribed by Augusto Chaves Batista in Brotéria Sér. Ci. Nat. vol.30 (Series 3-4) on page 87 in 1961.
