Salvertia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Vochysiaceae. The only species is Salvertia convallariodora.[2]
It is native to Suriname, Brazil and Bolivia.[2]
The genus name of Salvertia is in honour of Augustin Amable Dutour de Salvert or Du Tour de Salvert Bellenave (1781–1838), a French botanist and writer, brother-in-law of the author of the genus, Augustin Saint-Hilaire.[3] The Latin specific epithet of convallariodora refers to smelling (-odora) like flowers of the plant genus Convallaria. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. Vol.6 on page 266 in 1820.[2]
