Nivenia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae first described as a genus in 1808. Species in the genus are restricted in distribution to an area in the Cape Province of South Africa.[1]
The genus name is a tribute to the Scottish botanist (1774-1826), one of the first to collect the genus.[2]
