Teramnus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes eight species of climbing herbs and subshrubs native to the tropics of the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian Subcontinent, Indochina, Hainan, Taiwan, and New Guinea. Typical habitats are seasonally-dry tropical bushland and thicket, grassland, wooded grassland, and forest clearings, often in open and dry rocky areas.[1]

It belongs to subfamily Faboideae and is closely related to Glycine as well as Amphicarpaea. The somatic chromosome number for Teramnus is (x = 7).[2][3]
