Lebeckia is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae native to the fynbos (Cape Floristic Kingdom) of South Africa. Several members of Lebeckia were recently transferred to other genera (Calobota and Wiborgiella).[1][2] Members of Lebeckia are known to produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids, including , , and .[3][4]
