Guiraoa is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae. [1] It contains a single species, Guiraoa arvensis, an annual native to eastern and southeastern Spain. [2]

The genus and species were first described and published by Ernest Cosson in 1851 in Notes Pl. Crit. on page 98. [2] [2] The genus name of Guiraoa is in honour of Ángel Guirao y Navarro (1817–1890), Spanish doctor, naturalist and politician from Murcia who discovered this plant. [3] The Latin specific epithet of arvensis refers to arvum of ploughed fields or ploughed land. [4]
