Daustinia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Convolvulaceae. It only contains one known species, Daustinia montana.²

Its native range is eastern Brazil.²

The genus name of Daustinia is in honour of Daniel Frank Austin (1943–2015), an American botanist from the University of Arizona.³ The Latin specific epithet of montana means "of the mountains" referring to the habitat of the plant.⁴ Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Phytotaxa Vol.197 on page 60 in 2015.²¹
