'''''Morisonia''''' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Capparaceae, found across the Americas from the United States to Argentina. They are typically shrubs or small trees. The genus was recently enlarged with New World ''Capparis'' species due to existing taxonomic instability.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Global Flora: Special Edition: GLOVAP Nomenclature Part 1 |last1=Christenhusz |first1=Maarten M.
