Teedia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae.[1]
Its native range is southern tropical Africa (within the countries of Lesotho, Eswatini and Zimbabwe) and South Africa (within the regions of Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal and the Northern Provinces).[1]
The genus name of Teedia is in honour of Johann Georg Teede, a German botanist who collected plants in Portugal.[2] It was first described and published in J. Bot. (Schrader) 1799 (Vol.2) on page 288 in 1800.[1]
