Feigeana is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Roccellaceae.[1] A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Feigeana socotrana, first reported from Yemen in 1995.[2]
The genus name of Feigeana is in honour of Guido Benno Feige (1937 - 2007), a German botanist (Lichenology and Mycology) and also Professor of Botany in Essen. He also established the Botanical Garden of the University of Duisburg-Essen.[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Bruno A. Mies, Helge Thorsten Lumbsch and Anders Gunnar Tehler in Mycotaxon Vol.54 on page 156 in 1995.
