Wercklea hottensis is a species[2] of Malvaceae endemic to the mountains of the Massif de la Hotte in South-Western Haiti.

[3] Wercklea hottensis was first found in 1929, in the Central Massif de la Hotte, on morne Bonnet Carre near Saint Louis du Sud.

In 2019 a new, formerly unknown population was discovered in Grand Bois National Park, in the Western most mountains of the Occidental Massif de la Hotte.

In Grand Bois National Park, the species is very rare and only a single small population, that consists of individuals with exclusively green flowers, is known from this site.

The species has been given the specific epithet "hottensis", as it occurs in the Massif de la Hotte in Haiti.
