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.[1]

Psoralea glandulosa was first described by Carl Linnaeus and published in Species Plantarum 2: 1075. 1763.[2] In 1990 J. W. Grimes placed the species in genus Otholobium as O. glandulosum.[1] 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.[3]
