Schweinitziella is a genus of fungi in the family Trichosphaeriaceae.
[1] The genus was circumscribed by Carlos Luis Spegazzini in Anales Soc.
The genus name of Schweinitziella is in honour of Lewis David de Schweinitz (1780–1834), who was a German-American botanist and mycologist.
He is considered by some the "Father of North American Mycology".
