Zizkaea is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Bromeliaceae. It only contains one known species, Zizkaea tuerckheimii.[1]
It is native to the Dominican Republic and Haiti on the island of Hispaniola.[1]
The genus name of Zizkaea is in honour of Georg Zizka (b. 1955), a German evolutionary botanist and also specialist in Bromeliaceae.[2] The Latin specific epithet of tuerckheimii refers to Hans von Türckheim (1853-1920), a German plant collector.[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Phytotaxa Vol.279 on page 55 in 2016.[1][4]
