Kendrickia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Melastomataceae.[1] It only contains one species, Kendrickia walkeri.[2]
Its native range is India and Sri Lanka.[2]
The genus name of Kendrickia is in honour of George Henry Kendrick Thwaites (1811–1882), an English botanist and entomologist.[3] Both genus and species were first described and published in 1867.[4]
