Listia is a genus of legumes in the family Fabaceae and the tribe Crotalarieae. Members of this genus are mainly found in southern Africa but some can be found in central Africa. It was recently segregated from the genus Lotononis.^[2] Unlike other members of the Crotalarieae, members of the genus Listia have lupinoid root nodules.^[2]
