Lourtella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Lythraceae.[1] The only species is Lourtella resinosa S.A.Graham, Baas & Tobe.[2]

It is native to Peru and Bolivia.[2]

The genus name of Lourtella is in honour of Alicia Lourteig (1913–2003), an Argentine and French botanist, who was a world specialist in Oxalidaceae plants.[3] The Latin specific epithet of resinosa refers to resinous, from resina.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Syst. Bot. Vol.12 on pages 519-520 in 1987.[2]
