Mocquerysia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Salicaceae.[1]

Its native range is western central Tropical Africa. It is found in Cabinda (in Angola), Congo, Gabon and Zaïre.[1],

The genus name of Mocquerysia is in honour of Albert Mocquerys (1860–1926), a French dentist, who was also an entomologist, naturalist and explorer. He collected plants and insects in Africa and Venezuela.[2] It was first described and published in J. Bot. (Morot) Vol.7 on page 259 in 1893.[1]
