Weberbauerella is a South American genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes three species of perennial herbs or subshrubs native to coastal Peru and northern Chile. They grow in seasonally-dry tropical coastal forest, on sand or sandy hills.[1] It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae.[2][3]
