Marlothiella gummifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, and the only species in the monotypic genus Marlothiella.[2] It is endemic to Namibia, where its natural habitats are rocky areas and cold desert.[3] It is also the only genus in the tribe Marlothielleae, of the subfamily Apioideae.

The genus name of Marlothiella is in honour of Rudolf Marloth (1855–1931), a German-born South African botanist, pharmacist and analytical chemist, best known for his Flora of South Africa.[4] The Latin specific epithet of gummifera is derived from gummifer meaning gummy.[5] Both genus and species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.48 on pages 263 in 1912.[6]
