Sisyrinchium venezolense

Sisyrinchium venezolense is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is endemic to Venezuela, where it mostly grows in the subtropical biome.

Taxonomic history
Sisyrinchium venezolense was described by the Chilean botanist Pierfelice Ravenna in 2003. Ravenna's description appeared in issue 13, volume 8 of his self-published journal Onira, which had very limited distribution. Subsequent review of this protologue has been limited. The species is accepted as a correct name by the global taxonomy resource Plants of the World Online.

Ravenna's description of the species was based on a holotype collected by W. Gehringer at Páramo de Mucuruba in the state of Mérida on May 21, 1930, numbered Gehriger 116.
