Ferdinandusa is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae, native to the American tropics.
==Taxonomy== The genus was initially named Ferdinandea by Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl (but that name was an illegitimate homonym) who placed it in the family Bignoniaceae. This species is a shrub or small tree that occurs at the edge of a swamp in a gallery forest.
