Zygophyllum mongolicum is a species of flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae. It is endemic to the Inner Mongolia region in China.[1] It was formerly known as Tetraena mongolica but the genus Tetraena is now regarded as synonym to Zygophyllum.[2] The endangered status of this species and its xerophytic lifestyle adapted to withstand harsh environments prompted researchers to sequence its genome, the first of a member of the order Zygophyllales.[3]
