Grimolobium glandulosum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a shrub or tree native to Peru, Bolivia, and central and southern Chile in South America.
Psoralea glandulosa was first described by Carl Linnaeus and published in Species Plantarum 2: 1075. 1763. In 1990 J. W. Grimes placed the species in genus Otholobium as O. glandulosum. In 2024 Ashley Egan et al. concluded that the Otholobium species native to the Americas formed a distinct clade from the African species, and placed O. glandulosum in the newly described genus Grimolobium as G. glandulosum.Ashley N Egan, Abubakar Bello, Charles H Stirton, Samson B M Chimphango, A Muthama Muasya, Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of tribe Psoraleeae (Fabaceae) supports segregation of the South American Otholobium as a New Genus Grimolobium, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2024;, boae083, https://doi.org/10.1093/botlinnean/boae083
