Schlechterella is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae (the dogbane family).[1] It is native to Africa, found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Somalia, Tanzania and Uganda.[2]
(As of October 2018), the genus contained two species:[3]
- Schlechterella abyssinica (Chiov.) Venter & R.L.Verh.
- Schlechterella africana (Schltr.) K.Schum.
The genus was circumscribed by Karl Moritz Schumann in H.G.A.Engler & K.A.E.Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam., Gesamtregister: on page 462 in 1899.[2]
The genus name of Schlechterella is in honour of Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter (1872–1925), who was a German taxonomist, botanist, and author of several works on orchids.[4]
