Luxemburgia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Ochnaceae.[1]
The genus name of Luxemburgia is in honour of Charles Emmanuel Sigismond de Montmorency-Luxembourg (1774–1861), French duke of Piney-Luxembourg and also a botanical patron.[2] It was first described and published in Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. Vol.9 on page 352 in 1822.[1]
