Tessmannia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae.[1]
It is native to Tropical Africa, and is found in the countries of Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaïre and Zimbabwe.[1]
The genus name of Tessmannia is in honour of Günther Tessmann (1884–1969), a German-Brazilian ethnologist and botanist. He was also an African explorer and plant collector, who later settled in Brazil.[2] It was first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.45 on page 295 in 1910.[1]
