Reissekia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rhamnaceae. [2] It only contains one known species, Reissekia smilacina(Sm.) Steud. [2]

It is native to (north-eastern, southern and southeastern) Brazil. [2] [1]

The genus name of Reissekia is in honour of Siegfried Reissek (1819–1871), an Austrian naturalist and botanist who specialized in spermatophytes. [3] The Latin specific epithet of smilacina refers to the false Solomon's seal plant of Smilacina (part of the Asparagaceae family). The genus was first described and published in Gen.
