Inezia is a South African genus created by Edwin Percy Phillips in a Kew Bulletin of 1932. The genus honours Inez Clare Verdoorn (1896-1989), a South African taxonomist.
The species Inezia integrifolia was first described by Klatt as Lidbeckia integrifolia and occurs in the north-eastern Transvaal and Swaziland. It is described by Phillips as "a perennial herb with unbranched stems from a woody rootstock; leaves alternate, linear to lanceolate, punctate, pilose; heads solitary, terminal, peduncled."[1]
