Neesenbeckia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Cyperaceae.[2] The only species is Neesenbeckia punctoria.[3]

It is native to the Western Cape in South Africa.[3][4]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus name of Neesenbeckia is in honour of Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1776–1858), a prolific German botanist, physician, zoologist, and natural philosopher.[5] The genus has one known synonym, Buekia Nees.[2] The Latin specific epithet of punctoria is derived from punctus meaning pricked, punctured or pierced.[citation needed] Both the genus and species were first described and published in J. S. African Bot. Vol.13 on page 74 in 1947.[3]
