Kirchneriella is a genus of green algae in the family Selenastraceae.[2] It is found in freshwater habitats, as phytoplankton or metaphyton.[3]
The genus name of Kirchneriella is in honour of Emil Otto Oskar von Kirchner (1851–1925), who was a German botanist and agronomist.[4]
The genus was circumscribed by Wilhelm Schmidle in Ber. Naturf. Ges. Freiburg vol.7 on page 82 in 189.
