Myrothamnus
 Myrothamnus is a genus of flowering plants consisting of two species of small xerophytic shrubs in the southern parts of tropical Africa and in Madagascar. Myrothamnus is recognized as the only genus in the family Myrothamnaceae.Myrothamnaceae was included in order Hamamelidales in the Cronquist system. Molecular systematic studies have suggested that Myrothamnus is not closely related to Hamamelidaceae nor any other family included in that order but rather is closely related to Gunnera.
