Irlbachia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gentianaceae.[1]
It is native to Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil.[1]
The genus name of Irlbachia is in honour of Franz Gabriel von Bray (1765–1832), a Bavarian diplomat and naturalist. He was president of the botanical society in Regensburg.[2] It was first described and published in Nov. Gen. Sp. Pl. Vol.2 on page 101 in 1827.[1]
