Zuccagnia punctata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae.
Plants grow to about 5m tall, have small leaflets with clearly visible punctate glands, yellow 5-merous flowers, and produce leathery, red-haired dehiscent pods bearing a single seed each.[4]
It is found in treeless, scrubby areas up to 2,700m, and native only to central Argentina and Chile.[4]
The genus was named in honor of Italian botanist Attilio Zuccagni (1754–1807).[4] The specific epithet punctata is Latin, meaning "spotty", and refers to the appearance of the leaf surface.[5]
