Zollernia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae.

It includes 10 species native to South America, ranging from Venezuela and the Guianas to southern Brazil.

[3] Zollernia are trees or shrubs that flower annually.

Species are most commonly found in dense moist forests, but also grow in seasonally-dry cerrado (savanna and open woodland) and caatinga (deciduous thorn woodland and scrub).

[3] Leaves of Zollernia ilicifolia are used medicinally as an analgesic and antiulcerogenic by the peoples of the Brazilian tropical Atlantic Rainforest.
