Aenhenrya is a monotypic genus of terrestrial orchids that spread by means of underground rhizomes. Only one species is known, Aenhenrya rotundifolia, a very rare plant and endemic to southern India (within Kerala and Tamil Nadu).
The genus name of Aenhenrya is in honour of Ambrose Nathaniel Henry (b. 1936), Indian botanist with a focus on the flora of Southern India. The Latin specific epithet of rotundifolia is Latin for round-leaved.
