Froriepia is a genus of flowering plants in the umbellifer family Apiaceae. It contains a single species, Froriepa subpinnata, a biennial native to the Caucasus region, including southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and northern Iran. [3] [4]

Froriepa subpinnata prefers to live in scrubby areas, in meadows, and on forest edges. [3]

The genus name of Froriepia is in honour of Ludwig Friedrich von Froriep (1779–1847), a German doctor, professor of medicine and anatomy in Jena and Halle. [5] It was first described and published in Linnaea Vol.16 on page 362 in 1842. [4]
