Strumpfia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. The genus contains only one species, viz. Strumpfia maritima, which is found from southern Florida to northern Venezuela.[1] Strumpfia maritima is also the only species in the tribe Strumpfieae. It is an evergreen shrub of coastal areas that rarely exceeds 1 m (3.3 ft) in height.[2] Pride of Big Pine is a common name.[3] Strumpfia was named by Nicolaus Jacquin in 1760 in his compilation entitled Enumeratio Systematis Plantarum.[4][5] It was named for Christopher Strumpf, professor of chemistry and botany at Hall, in Magdeburg, and editor of Carl Linnaeus's Genera Plantarum.[6]
