Svenkoeltzia is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains three known species, all endemic to Mexico.[1][2][3][4]
A fourth species, Svenkoeltzia pamelae Szlach., Rutk. & Mytnik, was described from Oaxaca in 2004,[5] but the name is considered not validly published because the authors did not specify the herbarium in which the type specimen is located.[6] The Kew World Checklist[1] and the Plant List[7] list the name as a synonym of S. congestiflora.
