Steyermarkochloa is a genus of plants in the grass family.[2][3][4] The only known species is Steyermarkochloa angustifolia (Spreng.) Judz., which is native to Colombia (Guainía), Venezuela (Amazonas), and Brazil (Amazonas).[1][4]

The genus name of Steyermarkochloa is in honour of Julian Alfred Steyermark (1909–1988), an American botanist.[5] The Latin specific epithet of angustifolia is a compound word, with 'angusti-' derived from angustatus meaning narrowed and 'folia' meaning flower.[6] The genus was first described and published in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. Vol.71 on page 995 in 1985.[7] Then the species was first published in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. Vol.77 on page 204 in 1990.[8]
