Species of plants
Mairetis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. It only contains one known species, "Mairetis microsperma" 
It is native to the Canary Islands and Morocco.
The genus name of "Mairetis" is in honour of René Maire (1878–1949), a French botanist and mycologist. The Latin specific epithet of "microsperma" means 'micro' meaning small and 'sperma' the Greek word for seed.
Both the genus and species were first described and published in J. Arnold Arbor. Vol.34 on page 4 in 1953.
