Neesenbeckia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Cyperaceae.[1] The only species is Neesenbeckia punctoria (Vahl) Levyns.[2]

It is native to the Cape Provinces in South Africa.[2][3]

The genus name of Neesenbeckia is in honour of Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1776–1858), a prolific German botanist, physician, zoologist, and natural philosopher.[4] The genus has one known synonym, Buekia Nees.[1] The Latin specific epithet of punctoria is derived from punctus meaning pricked, punctured or pierced.[citation needed] Both the genus and species were first described and published in J. S. African Bot. Vol.13 on page 74 in 1947.[2]
