Theodorovia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Campanulaceae.[2] It only contains one known species, Theodorovia karakuschensis (Grossh.) Kolak.[2]
Its native range is Iran, the Transcaucasus and Turkey.[2]
The genus name of Theodorovia is in honour of Andrey A. Fedorov (1908–1987), a Soviet Russian biologist, botanist, taxonomist and phytogeographer, who was from 1970 a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.[3] The genus Theodorovia has the synonym Fedorovia Kolak.[2] The plant is normally found on higher ground.
The genus was first circumscribed in Kolokol'chik. Kavkaza on pages 50-51 in 1991,[2] to house a species which had previously been described in Campanula.
It has been used in Turkey in folk medicine to treat kidney stones.[4]
