''Pseudohaje'' is a genus of venomous African elapid snakes, commonly called tree cobras or forest cobras because of their arboreal lifestyle. Their ability to produce a hood is limited to a slight flattening of the neck.

Pseudohaje Goldii
Goldie's tree cobra (''Pseudohaje goldii''), also (in error) known as Gold's tree cobra, is a species of venomous tree cobra (''Pseudohaje'' means "false cobra") endemic to Central and Western Africa. This species is one of the two tree cobras in Africa, the other being the black tree cobra (''Pseudohaje nigra''). Goldie's tree cobra is one of the most venomous snakes and creatures in Africa. Taxonomy Belgian-British zoologist George Albert Boulenger described the species in 1895. Boulenger GA (1895). "On some new or little-known Reptiles obtained by W. H. Crosse, Esq., on the Niger". ''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Sixth Series'' 16: 32-34. (''Naia goldii'', new species, p. 34). The specific name, ''goldii'', is in honor of George Taubman Goldie, a Manx administrator in Nigeria.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''.
