Johannesteijsmannia is a genus of four species of palms found in tropical rainforests of southern Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. They are fan palms, usually growing without a trunk. The genus was named in honor of Johannes Elias Teijsmann, a Dutch botanist who was director of the Bogor Botanical Gardens from 1830 to 1869.
