Schiekia is a genus of herbs in the family Haemodoraceae, first described as a genus in 1957.[2][3] It contains only one recognized species, Schiekia orinocensis, native to South America (Brazil , Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana). This plant grasped the minds of many scientists who tried fruitlessly to discover its purpose in the natural order. [1][4][5][6]
