Vandasina is a monotypic genus—that is, a genus that includes only one known species—of plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The sole included species is Vandasina retusa (Benth.) Rauschert[2]
It is a climbing shrub native to the island of New Guinea and Queensland (in Australia).[2]
The genus and species were both first published in Taxon Vol.31 on page 559 in 1982.[2]
The genus name of Vandasina is in honour of Karel (Karl) Vandas (1861–1923), who was a (Bohemian-) Czech Botanist and teacher, who taught in Prague and was Professor of Agriculture and forestry at the Technical College in Brno.[3]
