Metashangrilaia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It includes a single species, Metashangrilaia forrestii, a perennial or subshrub native to subalpine regions of the eastern Himalayas, from Bhutan to eastern Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sichuan and Yunnan provinces of south-central China.[1]
The species was first described as Braya forestii by William Wright Smith in 1913. In 2016 Ihsan Ali Al-Shehbaz and Dmitry A. German placed it in the new monotypic genus Metashangrilaia as Metashangrilaia forrestii.[1]
