Rzedowskia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Celastraceae.[1] It contains one known species, Rzedowskia tolantonguensis, native to eastern Mexico.[1]
The genus name of Rzedowskia is in honour of Jerzy Rzedowski (1926–2023), a Mexican botanist. His focus was on Mexican floristics, taxonomy, and ecology.[2] The Latin specific epithet of tolantonguensis refers to Tolantongo, a box canyon and resort in the state of Hidalgo, where the plant was found.[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in the Boletín de la Sociedad Botánica de México Vol. 41, page 41 in 1981.[1]
In 1997, sesquiterpenes were extracted from Rzedowskia tolantonguensis.[4]
