Stoeberia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Aizoaceae.[1]
It is native to Namibia and also the Cape Provinces in the South African Republic.[1]
The genus name of Stoeberia is in honour of Ernst Stoeber (1889–1927?), a German teacher and botanist in Lüderitz in present-day Namibia.[2] It was first described and published in Z. Sukkulentenk. Vol.3 on page 17 in 1927.[1]
