Boeremia exigua is the type species of the fungus genus, Boeremia, in the Didymellaceae family.[1] It was first described as Phoma exigua by John Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières in 1849,[2][3] and transferred to the genus, Boeremia, by M.M. Aveskamp, J. de Gruyter, J.H.C. Woudenberg, G.J.M. Verkley and P.W. Crous in 2010.[2][1]

Desmazières describes the species as occurring on stems and dried leaves, with two varieties: one of which is found on the stems and leaves of a Polygonum species, and the other on the stems and leaves of Ranunculus.[3]
It causes wet weather blight in cotton and it can be treated with systemic copper.
