Thepparatia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Malvaceae.[2] It only contains one known species, the liana Thepparatia scandens.[2][1]
Its native range is from the Indian subcontinent to parts of Indo-China. It is found in the Andaman Islands, Assam, Bangladesh, eastern Himalaya, India, Myanmar and Thailand.[2]
The genus name of Thepparatia is in honour of Sirindhorn (b. 1955), Thailand princess. (Thais commonly refer to her as "Phra Thep", meaning "princess angel").[3] The Latin specific epithet of scandens means climbing, as derived from scando.[4] The genus was first described and published in Thai Forest Bull., Bot. Vol.34 on page 195 in 2006.[2] The species was published in Fl. Thailand Vol.14 (Issue 2) on page 329 in 2019.[1]
