Ferdinandusa is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae, native to the American tropics.[1]
The genus was initially named Ferdinandea by Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl (but that name was an illegitimate homonym[2]) who placed it in the family Bignoniaceae.[3] This species is a shrub or small tree that occurs at the edge of a swamp in a gallery forest.[4]
