Liebigia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. [1]
It is native to Java, Sumatera and Lesser Sunda Islands. [1]
The genus name of Liebigia is in honour of Justus von Liebig (1803–1873), a German scientist who made major contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, and is considered one of the principal founders of organic chemistry. [2] It was first described and published in Gen. Pl. on page 1407 in 1841. [1]
