Suchtelenia calycina is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. It is an annual native to Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The genus name of Suchtelenia is in honour of Paul van Suchtelen (1788–1833), a Dutch-born Russian military officer. The Latin specific epithet of calycina is derived from the Greek calycinus, meaning "like a calyx" or "with a prominent calyx". It was first described and published in Pl. Vasc. Gen. Vol.1 on page 188 in 1839. The species was published in Prodr. Vol.10 on page 163 in 1846.
