Ottoschmidtia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.[2] It only contains one known species, Ottoschmidtia microphylla (Griseb.) Urb.
Its native range is Caribbean, it is found in Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.[1]
The genus name of Ottoschmidtia is in honour of Otto Christian Schmidt (1900–1951), a German botanist, professor in Berlin and Münster. He was also a specialist in algae.[3] The Latin specific epithet of microphylla is a portmanteau word derived from 'micro-' meaning small and also 'phylla' meaning leaf.[4][citation needed] The genus was first described and published in Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Vol.20 on page 312 in 1924.[2] The species was published in Ark. Bot. Vol.21A (Isue 5) on page 85 in 1927.[1]
