Sinolimprichtia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[1] It just contains one species, Sinolimprichtia alpina.[1]

The genus name of Sinolimprichtia is in honour of Hans Wolfgang Limpricht (b. 1877), a German botanist who collected plants in China and Japan.[2] The Latin specific epithet of alpina refers to 'alpine' meaning coming from the Alps or mountains.[3] It was first described and published in Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. Vol.12 on pages 448-449 in 1922.[1]
