Schrenkia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[1]

Its native range is Central Asia (within Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) to Xinjiang.[1]

The genus name of Schrenkia is in honour of Alexander von Schrenk (1816–1876), a Russian naturalist born near Tula in what was then the Russian Empire. He was a brother to zoologist Leopold von Schrenck (1826–1894).[2] It was first described and published in Enum. Pl. Nov. Vol.1 on page 63 in 1841.[1]
