Malesherbia turbinea is a shrub native Candarave, Tacna, Peru.[1][2] It has been recorded growing near Lake Huananhuata.[3]

It can grow up to 1 meter tall, has "blood-red" flowers and white or yellow anthers.[3] While phenotypically very similar to Malesherbia haemantham, it differs phenotypically in its flowers as they do not have black boarders or black anthers which are observed in M. haemantham.[3]

It is classified as endangered due to its extremely small range.[2]
