Geissaspis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It contains one accepted species, Geissaspis cristata.[1] It is a scrambling annual or perennial that ranges from the Indian Subcontinent through Indochina to southern China and Peninsular Malaysia. It has three varieties:[2]

  • Geissaspis cristata var. cristata
  • Geissaspis cristata var. malabarica (Sivar. & A.Babu) M.R.Almeida
  • Geissaspis cristata var. tenella (Benth.) M.R.Almeida

Geissaspis belongs to subfamily Faboideae and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae.[3][4][5] Geissaspis keilii De Wild. is an unplaced name.[6]
