Zollernia is a genus of about 10 tree and shrub species from the pea family, native to dense moist forests, savanna and dry scrub in South America. Because these are mostly forest trees rather than garden plants, they are not commonly grown as houseplants or ornamentals.
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. 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).
Leaves of Zollernia ilicifolia are used medicinally as an analgesic and antiulcerogenic by the peoples of the Brazilian tropical Atlantic Rainforest.
