Lauterbachia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Monimiaceae.[1] The only species is Lauterbachia novoguineensis Perkins.[2]

It is native to New Guinea.[2]

The genus name of Lauterbachia is in honour of Carl Adolf Georg Lauterbach (1864–1937), a German explorer and botanist.[3] The Latin specific epithet of novoguineensis means from New Guinea (where the plant was found).[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in K.M.Schumann & C.A.G.Lauterbach, Fl. Schutzgeb. Südsee on pages 330-331 in 1900.[2]
