Behaimia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It is only found in Cuba.[3][4] It has only one accepted species, Behaimia cubensis.[5] It can be distinguished from related genera, Cyclolobium and Limadendron by:

pinnately multifoliolate (vs. unifoliolate) leaves, a sessile (vs. stipitate) ovary, and an indehiscent or late dehiscent one-seeded pod.[3]
