Name

Lindenbergia Lehm. Sem. Hort. Bot. Hamburg. 1829: 6, 8. (1829)

It is named in honor of Johann Bernhard Wilhelm Lindenberg, a lawyer and bryologist from Germany.[2]

A partial list of species are:

Lindenbergia grandiflora[1]
Lindenbergia griffithii[1]
Lindenbergia macrostachya[1]
Lindenbergia muraria[1]
Lindenbergia philippensis[1]
Lindenbergia sokotrana, Vierh.
