Ruehssia is a genus of plants in the family Apocynaceae.[1] It is also in the Asclepiadoideae subfamily and Marsdenieae tribe.[2][3]

Its native range is tropical and subtropical South America. It is found in Argentina (north-eastern and north-western), Belize, Bolivia, Brazil (north, north-eastern, south, south-eastern and west-central), Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Mexico (north-eastern, south-eastern and south-western), Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela and the Windward Islands.[1]

The genus name of Ruehssia is in honour of Carl Andreas Rühsz (1805–1880), the German consul in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. He was a supporter of art and science.[4] It was first described and published in Verh. Vereins Beförd. Gartenbaues Königl. Preuss. Staaten Vol.19 on page 304 in 1849.[1]
