Ledebouriella Explained

Ledebouriella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Ledebouriella multiflora (Ledeb.) H.Wolff.[2]

It is native to Kazakhstan in Central Asia.

The genus name of Ledebouriella is in honour of Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1786–1851), a German-Estonian botanist.[3] The Latin specific epithet of multiflora means multiple flowers.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in H.G.A.Engler (editor.), Pflanzenr., IV, Vol.228 (Edition 43) on page 191 in 1910.[2]
