Linnaeosicyos is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae.[1] The only species is Linnaeosicyos amara (L.) H.Schaef. & Kocyan.[2]
It is native to the Dominican Republic.[2]
The genus name of Linnaeosicyos is in honour of Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778).[3] The Latin specific epithet of amara is derived from amarus meaning bitter.[4] Both genus and species were first described in Syst. Bot. Vol.33 on page 350 in 2008.[2]
