Niedzwedzkia is a single species genus named for the Russian botanist Vladislav Niedzwiecki. Niedzwedzkia semiretschenskia is a rare perennial flower endemic to dry, rocky hillsides in Kazakhstan, placed on the IUCN Red List in 1997. [1] [2] The plant is sometimes treated as Incarvillea, but has winged capsules and septifragal dehiscence.

The plant has numerous wiry upright stems growing to a height of 45 cm from a sub-shrub base. The leaves are deeply incised with linear lobes. The orange-pink tubular flowers are 6 cm long by 4 cm across. The fruits are 5 cm long and feature six very wavy wings.[3] Ploidy 2n = 22. [4]
