Kremeriella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. It has one known synonym KremeriaCoss. & Durieu. ^[1] It only contains one species, Kremeriella cordylocarpus(Coss. & Durieu) Maire. ^[2]

Its native range is north-western Africa. It is found in Algeria and Morocco. ^[2]

The genus name of Kremeriella is in honour of Jean Pierre Kremer (1812–1867), a French doctor and botanist from Metz. ^[3] The Latin specific epithet of cordylocarpus is derived from 2 words, cordylo an Ancient Greek word for a club (kordyle), and also "carpus" is derived from the Latin carpus and the Greek καρπός (karpós), meaning "wrist". ^[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in É.Jahandiez & al., Cat. Pl. Maroc Vol.2 on page 293 in 1932. ^[2]
