Corsiopsis is a genus of plants in the Corsiaceae family.[1][2] It contains only one known species, Corsiopsis chinensis, endemic to Guangdong Province in China .[3][4]

Both the genus and the species were circumscribed by Dian Xiang Zhang, Richard M.K. Saunders and Chi-Ming Hu in Syst. Bot. vol.24 (3) on page 313 in 1999.[5]

The genus name of Corsiopsis is in honour of Bardo Corsi Salviati (1844–1907), who was an Italian nobleman with a large botanical park near Florence.[6]
