Vandasina is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It only contains one known species, Vandasina retusa (Benth.) Rauschert[1]

It is native to the island of New Guinea and Queensland (in Australia).[1]

The genus and species were both first published in Taxon Vol.31 on page 559 in 1982.[1]

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.[2]
