Pierrina is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Lecythidaceae.[3] It only contains one known species, Pierrina zenkeri.
It is native to Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon.[2]
The genus name of Pierrina is in honour of Jean Baptiste Louis Pierre (1833–1905), a French botanist known for his Asian studies.[4] The Latin specific epithet of zenkeri is derived from botanist Friderich Albert von Zenker (1825-1898).[5] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.43 on pages 374-376 in 1909.[2][3]
