It includes a single species, Myanmaranthus roseiflorus, which endemic to Myanmar and known only from a single location in Kachin State. It is an herbaceous plant up to 2.5 meters tall which grows from a rhizome, with pink flowers.[1]
The plant was collected in the buffer zone of Hkakaborazi National Park, growing in a disturbed roadside area through primary subtropical moist evergreen forest at 568 metres elevation.[1]
The genus and species were described in 2022.[2] Myanmaranthus is most closely related to genus Phrynium, but differs in having a rosulate habit, a loose paniculate inflorescence arising from the rhizome, an absence of interphylls and bracteoles, and fertile bracts that each hold a single pink flower.[1]
