Pseudolachenalia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae. It includes a single species, Pseudolachenalia isopetala, a bulbous geophyte native to the western central Cape Provinces of South Africa.[1]
The species was first described as Lachenalia isopetala by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1797. In 2022 Graham D. Duncan et al. placed the species in a new monotypic genus Pseudolachenalia based on a phylogenetic analysis of Lachenalia species.[2]
