Listia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae and the tribe Crotalarieae. Members of this genus are mainly found in southern Africa but some species can be found in central Africa. It was recently segregated from the genus Lotononis. Unlike other members of the Crotalarieae, members of the genus Listia have lupinoid root nodules.
The genus name of Listia is in honour of Friedrich Ludwig List (1779-1837), who was a German botanist and teacher.
