Pierrina is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Lecythidaceae. [3] It only contains one known species, Pierrina zenkeri.

The genus name of Pierrina is in honour of Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre (1833–1905), a French botanist known for his Asian studies. [4] The Latin specific epithet of zenkeri is derived from botanist Friderich Albert von Zenker (1825-1898). [5] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst.
