Fonkia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Plantaginaceae. The only species is Fonkia uliginosa.[1]

It is native to central and southern Chile and south-western Argentina.[1]

The genus is named after Francisco Fonk (1830–1912), a Chilean doctor.[2] The epithet of uliginosa is from the Latin word, of marshes; from uligo meaning dampness.[3] It was first described and published in Linnaea Vol.30 on page 198 in 1860.[1]
