Lavrania is a monospecific genus of plants in family Apocynaceae. Its only species is Lavrania haagnerae, endemic to Namibia.[1] Its natural habitat is rocky areas.
The genus and species were first described in 1986.[1] Phylogenetic studies have shown the genus to be monophyletic, and most closely related to the stapeliad genus Hoodia. Marginally more distantly related is a sister branch of related genera including Larryleachia, Richtersveldia and Notechidnopsis.[2]
