Rivasgodaya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the legume family, Fabaceae. It just contains one species, Rivasgodaya nervosa. [2]

The genus name of Rivasgodaya is in honour of Salvador Rivas Goday (1905–1981), a Spanish botanist and plant geographer, professor of pharmacy in Madrid. [3] The Latin specific epithet of nervosa means veined, originally from nervus. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Trab. Dept. Bot. Univ. Granada Vol.2 on pages 81-82 in 1973. [2]

It is also thought to be a synonym for Teline nervosa. [5]
