Plectroniella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It was described by Walter Robyns in 1928.[1] The genus contains only one species, i.e. Plectroniella armata, which is found in southern Mozambique and northeastern South Africa . The species is characterized by the presence of large spines and is morphologically similar to Canthium. In 2004, a molecular phylogenetic study showed that Plectroniella armata is related to Canthium ciliatum and the transfer of the genus to Canthium was suggested.[2]
