Schinziella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gentianaceae. The only species is Schinziella tetragona.[2]

Its native range is Tropical Africa. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Guinea, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zaïre.[2]

The genus name of Schinziella is in honour of Hans Schinz (1858–1941), a Swiss explorer and botanist who was a native of Zürich.[3] The Latin specific epithet of tetragona is derived from tetragonal meaning square or having four corners.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in H.G.A.Engler & K.A.E.Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. Vl.4 (Issue 2) on page 74 in 1895.[2][1]
