Nayariophyton is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Malvaceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Nayariophyton zizyphifolium (Griff.) D.G.Long & A.G.Mill. [2]

Its native range is eastern Himalaya s to southern Central China and Thailand. It is found in Assam (India), China, East Himalaya, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand.[2]

The genus name of Nayariophyton is in honour of Madhavan Parameswarau Nayar (1905–1978).[3] The Latin specific epithet of zizyphifolium refers to Ziziphus and folium which refers to foliage,[4] meaning that the plant has foliage similar to the Ziziphus plant, a genus of spiny shrubs and small trees in the buckthorn family. It was first described and published in Fasc. Fl. India Vol.19 on page 183 in 1988.[2]
