Sohnreyia
# Sohnreyia

Sohnreyia is a genus of flowering plant in the Citrus, or Rue family (Rutaceae), native to South America (within Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela). They are all "palmoids" or Corner Model Trees (named for E.J.H. Corner, the first to describe this architectural growth form). As such they most commonly consist of a single, pachycaul trunk topped by a rosette of very large, pinnate leaves, and are usually monocarpous. The genus was first described by Kurt Krause in 1914. The genus name of Sohnreyia is in honour of Heinrich Sohnrey (1859–1948), a German teacher and writer.
