Grazielodendron riodocensis is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade within the Dalbergieae.[1][2] It is the only member of the genus Grazielodendron.[3][4] It is only found in eastern Brazil.[5]

The genus name of Grazielodendron is in honour of Graziela Maciel Barroso (1912–2003), a Brazilian botanist,[6] and also "'dendron" (δένδρον) which is the Greek word for "tree".[7] The Latin specific epithet of riodocensis refers Rio Doce or Doce River in Brazil.[8] Grazielodendron riodocensis was first described and published in Bradea Vol.3 on page 401 in 1983.[5]
