Pycnospora lutescens is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is a subshrub or perennial native to east-central tropical Africa, tropical and subtropical Asia, eastern Malesia, and northern Australia.[1] It is the sole species in genus Pycnospora. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.[2]

In Africa, Pycnospora lutescens grows in woodland, bushland, grassland, and thicket in the Victoria Basin forest–savanna mosaic, and woodland, bushland, and thicket in the Somali-Masai region of Kenya and Tanzania.[1]
