Veselskya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. It only contains one known species, Veselskya griffithiana(Boiss.) Opiz. [1] It is native to Afghanistan. [1]

The genus name of Veselskya is in honour of Friedrich Veselský (1813–1866), a Bohemian lawyer in present-day Prešov, he was also an amateur botanist with a focus on mushrooms. [2] The Latin specific epithet of griffithiana refers to William Griffith (1810–1845), who was a British naturalist, doctor and botanist. Both the species and the genus were first described and published in Lotos Vol.4 on page 257 in 1856. [1] The name replaced the earlier Pyramidium Boiss., an illegitimate name, as Pyramidium S. E. Bridel, a genus of mosses predates it.
