Lamourouxia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Orobanchaceae.
[1] Its native range is Mexico to Peru.
It is found in the countries of Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panamá and Peru.
[1] Kew also adds Magadan in Russia,[1] this could be a random mistake.
The genus name of Lamourouxia is in honour of Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux (1779–1825), a French biologist and naturalist, noted for his seminal work with algae.
