Schrenkia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae. [1]

Its native range is Central Asia (within Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) to Xinjiang. [1]

The genus name of Schrenkia is in honour of Alexander von Schrenk (1816–1876), a Russian naturalist born near Tula in what was then the Russian Empire. He was a brother to zoologist Leopold von Schrenck (1826–1894). [2] It was first described and published in Enum. Pl. Nov. Vol.1 on page 63 in 1841. [1]
