Menonvillea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.[1]
It is native to Chile and western Argentina.[1]
The genus name of Menonvillea is in honour of Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville (1739–1780), a French botanist who volunteered to be sent to Mexico in 1776 to steal the cochineal insect valued for its scarlet dye.[2] It was first described and published in Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. Vol.7 on page 236 in 1821.[1]
