Hemsleya is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae.[1][2]

Its native range is Eastern Himalayas to southern China and Papuasia. It is native to the countries of Assam (in India), Bismarck Archipelago (island group, part of Papua New Guinea), China, East Himalayas, Maluku Islands, New Guinea, Thailand and Vietnam.[1]

The genus name of Hemsleya is in honour of William Hemsley (1843–1924), an English botanist.[3] It was first described and published in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. Vol.23 on page 490 in 1888.[1]
