Winklerella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Podostemaceae.

It only contains one known species, Winklerella dichotoma.

[2] The genus name of Winklerella is in honour of Hubert Winkler (1875–1941), a German botanist, who specialized in tropical flora research.

[3] The Latin specific epithet of dichotoma is derived from dichotomus which means split in two; from dichotomous.

[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot.
