Guiraoa is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.[1] It only contains one species, Guiraoa arvensis Coss. [2]

It is native to Spain.[2]

The genus name of Guiraoa is in honour of Ángel Guirao y Navarro (1817–1890), Spanish doctor, naturalist and politician from Murcia who discovered this plant.[3] The Latin specific epithet of arvensis refers to arvum of ploughed fields or ploughed land.[4] It was first described and published in Notes Pl. Crit. on page 98 in 1851.[2]
