Muraltia is a genus of plants in the milkwort family (Polygalaceae) which is native to Southern and Eastern Africa.

[5] It is named after Johannes von Muralt, a Swiss botanist and surgeon.

[6] In 2006 the genus Nylandtia, which contained two species, was merged into Muraltia.

Nylandtia are commonly known as "Tortoise berry" plants ("skilpadbessie").

This is because of the bright edible berries that they produce, which are relished by the tortoise species of the fynbos.
