It includes 10 species native to South America, ranging from Venezuela and the Guianas to southern Brazil.[3]Zollernia are trees or shrubs that flower annually. Species are most commonly found in dense moist forests, but also grow in seasonally-dry cerrado (savanna and open woodland) and caatinga (deciduous thorn woodland and scrub).[3]
