Sclerotiaria is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae. The only species is Sclerotiaria pentaceros.[2] It is also in Tribe Coriandreae.[3]

It is native to Kazakhstan in Central Asia.[2]

The genus name of Sclerotiaria is a compound word derived from Greek skleros meaning hard and also tiara - a Persian diadem, or small crown.[4] The Latin specific epithet of pentaceros is a compound word, penta meaning five and ceros from greek (kéras) meaning horn.[5] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Trudy Inst. Bot. Akad. Nauk Kazakhst. S.S.R. Vol.13 on page 243 in 1962.[2][1]
