Treutlera is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Treutlera insignis Hook.f.[1]

It is native to Nepal, the East Himalaya and Assam in India.[1]

The genus name of Treutlera is in honour of William John Treutler (1841–1915), a British doctor who also worked at Kew Gardens.[2] The Latin specific epithet of insignis means significant.[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Hooker's Icon. Pl. Vol.15 on table 1425 in 1883.[1]
