Muraltia flanaganii is a plant species in the milkwort family (Polygalaceae) that is endemic to rocky flats about 5 metres (16 ft) above sea level in the southwestern part of Cape Province, South Africa.[1][2][3] It is a perennial subshrub with a height between 6 and 20 centimetres (2.4 and 7.9 in) which branches mainly at its base.[1][2] The plant's clustered leaves are softly-haired and have sharp tips. It produces pink flowers which are also stalkless.[1] It has been listed by the Red List of South African Plants as endangered since 2007 due to invasive species and habitat loss.[4] It was first written about by Margaret Levyns in 1954 in the Journal of South African Botany.[5] It was named "minuta", the Latin word for "small", in reference to the plant's small size.[1]
