Muraltia flanaganii is a plant species in the milkwort family (Polygalaceae). It is native to grasslands and moorlands with altitudes between 1,160 and 3,355 metres (3,806 and 11,007 ft) in southern and eastern Africa.[1][2] It is a perennial shrub with a height of 20 to 100 centimetres (0.66 to 3.28 ft) which produces white, pink, or purple flowers.[1][2] Its leaves are 3 to 8 millimetres (0.12 to 0.31 in) long, 0.5 to 1 millimetre (0.020 to 0.039 in) wide, and obtuse or apiculate, ending at a needle-like point. The surface of the leaves are glabrous and rough to the touch.[1] According to the Red List of South African Plants, the species is of least ecological concern.[3] It was first described in the Journal of Botany, British and Foreign by Harry Bolus.[4]
