Senefeldera is a plant genus of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae).[1][2] Their wood can be used as timber, in handicraft and as firewood.[3] It is native to Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.[4]

The genus was circumscribed by Mart. in Flora vol.24 (2) on page 29 in 1841.[4]

The genus name of Senefeldera is in honour of Johann Alois Senefelder (1771–1834), who was a German actor and playwright who invented the printing technique of lithography in the 1790s.[5]
