Gigasiphon macrosiphon is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family. It is known from several localities in Kenya and Tanzania. Only about 33 individuals were found in surveys in 2013. Population decline is believed to be mainly due to habitat loss.[2] The IUCN currently classifies the species as Endangered.[1]
