ISBN 978-0-521-82071-4〕 They are shrubs or small trees. A few are cultivated as ornamentals.〔Anthony J. Huxley, Mark Griffiths, and Margot Levy (editors). 1992.

ISBN 978-0-333-47494-5 (set)〕 The type species for the genus is ''Isertia coccinea''.〔''Isertia'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see ''External links'' below).〕 ''Isertia'' was named by Johann von Schreber in 1789.〔''Isertia'' in International Plant Names Index. (see ''External links'' below).〕〔Johann Schreber. 1789. Gen. Pl., ed. 8().

(see ''External links'' below).〕 The generic name honors the German botanist and explorer Paul Erdmann Isert.〔Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000. ''CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names'' volume II.

Isertia. In section Cassupa, the fruit is a berry and the ovary usually has two or three locules. In section Isertia, the fruit is a pyrene, and the ovary usually has five or six locules.〔Brian M. Boom. 1984. "A revision of ''Isertia'' (Isertieae: Rubiaceae)". ''Brittonia'' 36(4):425-454. 〕 Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that ''Isertia'' is most closely related to ''Kerianthera'', a monospecific genus from Amazonian Brazil.〔Ulrika Manns and Birgitta Bremer. 2010.
