Semenovia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[1] It is in subfamily Apioideae and also tribe Tordylieae subtribe Tordyliinae.[2]

Its native range is from Iran to Central Asia (within Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Tibet, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and the Western Himalayas) and China.[1]

The genus name of Semenovia is in honour of Pyotr Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky (1827–1914), a Russian geographer and statistician who managed the Russian Geographical Society for more than 40 years. He gained international fame for his pioneering exploration of the Tian Shan mountains.[3] It was first described and published in Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou Vol.39 (II) on page 78 in 1866.[1]
