Lhotzkyella is a species of plants in the Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1882.[2] It was originally given the name "Pulvinaria" but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym, meaning that the name had already been used for a different species (a fungus, in this case).[1][3] Lhotzkyella contains only one known species, Lhotzkyella lhotzkyana , endemic to Brazil.
