A revision of the poorly known South African endemic genus Bolusafra, is presented. This monotypic genus is closely related to Rhynchosia and has not been revised since its description in 1891. The nomenclature and typification of the genus are given, together with distributional information. Illustrations of vegetative and reproductive characters, including the distinctive bulbous-based hairs and fleshy arils are provided.
