Bischofia is a genus of plants in the family Phyllanthaceae first described as a genus in 1827.[2][3] It is native to southern China, the Indian Subcontinent, Queensland, New Guinea, and various islands of the Pacific.[1][4] It is the only member of the tribe Bischofieae. They are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants,[5] but may rarely be monoecious.[6]

The genus Bischofia was named after him by Karl Blume.[7]
