Winklerella dichotoma

Winklerella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Podostemaceae. It only contains one known species, Winklerella dichotoma. [2]

It is native to Cameroon in Africa. [2]

The genus name of Winklerella is in honour of Hubert Winkler (1875–1941), a German botanist, who specialized in tropical flora research. [3] The Latin specific epithet of dichotoma is derived from dichotomus which means split in two; from dichotomous. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.38 on page 97 in 1905. [2]
