Weizhia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes a single species, Weizhia pentaphylla, a climbing perennial native to Zhejiang province in southeastern China. [1]
The genus and species were both described in 2023. [1] Morphological and phylogenetic evidence place the genus in subtribe Glycininae, closely related to the genera Dumasia and Toxicopueraria . Weizhia is distinguished by having usually pinnately 5-foliolate leaves and spurred wing-petals. [2]
