Soemmeringia semperflorens is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is the only member of the genus Soemmeringia.[1][2][3]

It is a prostrate shrub or perennial herb native to northern South America, ranging from Colombia, Venezuela, and Guyana through northern, northeastern, and west-central Brazil to Bolivia. It grows in seasonally-dry tropical forest, cerrado (wooded grassland and woodland), and scrub in the Amazon Basin and northeastern Brazil, often along rivers, in floodplains, and in disturbed areas.[1]

It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae.[4][5]
