Schiekia is a genus of herbs in the family Haemodoraceae, first described as a genus in 1957.[2][3] It contains only one recognized species, Schiekia orinocensis, native to South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana). This plant grasped the minds of many scientists who tried fruitlessly to discover its purpose in the natural order. [1][4][5][6]
