Vismia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hypericaceae.[1] Members of the genus are small trees and shrubs found in tropical and subtropical areas of Central America and South America.[2] Including the countries of Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panamá, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad-Tobago and Venezuela.[1]

Like many members of the Hypericaceae, these plants contain xanthonoids.

The genus name of Vismia is in honour of Gérard de Visme (c. 1725 – c. 1797), a French and English merchant in Lisbon, Portugal.[3] It was first described and published in Fl. Lusit. Bras. Spec. on page 51 in 1788.[1]
