Neobrittonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Malvaceae. [1] It only contains one known species, Neobrittonia acerifolia [2]

Its native range is central Mexico and parts of Central America. It is found in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panamá [2]

The genus name of Neobrittonia is in honour of Nathaniel Lord Britton (1859–1934), an American botanist and taxonomist who co-founded the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York. [3] The Latin specific epithet of acerifolia is a compound, 'aceri-' refers to the tree/shrub species acer and -'folia' refers to foliage. [4] Meaning the plant has foliage similar to a maple plant. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Annuaire Conserv. Jard. Bot. Genève Vol.9 on page 184 in 1905. [2]
