'''''Hoffmannseggia''''' is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, known generally as '''rushpeas'''. These are pod-bearing herbs and subshrubs native to the Americas. In North America they range from California and Nebraska to southern Mexico, and from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru to southern Argentina and Chile in South America.<ref name = powo/> The generic name honors Johann Centurius, Count of Hoffmannsegg, a nineteenth-century German nobleman and botanist.<ref name="6subfamilies">{{cite journal | author = The Legume Phylogeny Working Group (LPWG). | year = 2017 | title = A new subfamily classification of the Leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny | journal = Taxon | volume = 66 | issue = 1 | pages = 44–77 | doi = 10.12705/661.3| doi-access = free | hdl = 10568/90658 | hdl-access = free }}</ref><ref name="Gagnon">{{cite journal | author = Gagnon E, Bruneau A, Hughes CE, de Queiroz LP, Lewis GP. | year = 2016 | title = A new generic system for the pantropical ''Caesalpinia'' group (Leguminosae) | journal = PhytoKeys | issue = 71 | pages = 1–160 | doi = 10.3897/phytokeys.71.9203 | pmid = 28814915 | pmc = 5558824 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
