Polyclita is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Ericaceae.[2] It only contains one known species, Polyclita turbinata (Kuntze) A.C.Sm. [1]
It is native to Bolivia.[1]
The genus name of Polyclita is in honour of Polykleitos (c. 480 BC – end of the 5th century BC), a Greek sculptor of bronzes (copies of which probably persist as Roman marble statues).[3] The Latin specific epithet of turbinata means shaped like a top, from turbineus.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club Vol.63 on page 314 in 1936.[1]
