Ziziphus budhensis is a species of plant in the family Rhamnaceae, endemic to the Temal region of Bagmati Province, Nepal.

Ziziphus budhensis has an edible fruit and the tree is also used as cattle fodder.

These are highly valued with a mala of 108 beads costing up to 80 thousand Nepalese Rupees.

Reportedly the Timal region boasts an annual Buddhachitta trade worth one billion Nepali rupees ($9.8 million) and the beads are being exported from Nepal to India, China, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.

The Government of Nepal's Ministry of Forestry has established a committee and has begun to distribute the seedling of the plant so as to uplift the economic status of the people living in this area.
