Mathiasella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae. [1] It is in the Tribe Selineae. The genus only contains one known species, Mathiasella bupleuroidesConstance & C.L.Hitchc. [2]

It is native to Mexico. [2]

The genus name of Mathiasella is in honour of Mildred Esther Mathias (1906–1995), an American botanist and college professor and also Director of the UCLA Botanic garden. [3] The Latin specific epithet of bupleuroides means "like Bupleurum" in recognition that it has visual similarities to Bupleurum , another genus of plants in the Apiaceae family, that has worldwide distribution. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Amer. J. Bot. Vol.41 on page 56 in 1954. [2]
