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]
