Doerpfeldia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rhamnaceae.
The only species is Doerpfeldia cubensis.
[1] It is native to Cuba.
[1] Its genus name is in honour of Wilhelm Dörpfeld (1853–1940), a German archaeologist,[2] and the Latin epithet of cubensis means "coming from Cuba".
Previously, it was known as Sarcomphalus cubensis Britton in 1920, before Ignatz Urban moved the genus into a separate genus of Doerpfeldia and then published it in Symb.
