Hallianthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Aizoaceae.[1] It only contains one species, Hallianthus planus[2]

It is native to the Cape Provinces of the South African Republic.[2]

The genus name of Hallianthus is in honour of Harry Hall (1906–1986), a British-born horticulturist, botanist and succulent plant authority.[3] The Latin specific epithet of planus refers to flat.[4] Hallianthus planus was first described and published in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.104 on page 167 in 1983.[2]
