Fryxellia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Malvaceae. It contains only one species, Fryxellia pygmaea (Correll) D.M.Bates.[1]
Its native range is south-western Texas to north-eastern Mexico.[1]
The genus is named in honour of Paul Fryxell (1927ā2011) an American botanist.[2] The specific Latin epithet of pygmaea refers to pygmy or "small" in Greek. It was first described and published in Brittonia Vol.26 on page 95 in 1974.[1]
