Species

Frommeella (Frommeëlla) is a genus of rust fungi in the family Phragmidiaceae. The widespread genus contains two species.[2]

The genus name of Frommeella is in honour of Fred Denton Fromme (1886–1966), who was an American botanist (Mycology) and Professor of Botany at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.[3]

The genus was circumscribed by George Baker Cummins and Yasuyuki Hiratsuka in Ill. Gen. Rust Fungi, rev. ed., Vol.120 on page 151 in 1983.
