Monrosia pterolopha is a species of flowering plant in the family Polygalaceae. It is a subshrub native to Catamarca, La Rioja, and San Juan provinces of northwestern Argentina, where it grows in subalpine areas of the Andes.[1]

The species was first described as Polygala pterolopha by Robert Hippolyte Chodat in 1893. In 1949 Eduardo M. Grondona placed it in the newly-described genus Monrosia.[1]
