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. [2]

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.), Das Pflanzenreich, IV, Vol.228 (Edition 43) on page 191 in 1910. [2]
