Vanzijlia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Aizoaceae. It only contains one known species, Vanzijlia annulata.[2]

It is native to the Cape Provinces of the South African Republic.[2]

The genus name of Vanzijlia is in honour of Dorothy Constantia van Zijl (1886–1938), South African plant collector.[3] The Latin specific epithet of annulata means ring-shaped or with an annulus.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Fl. Pl. South Africa Vol.7 on table 262 in 1927.[1][2] The genus is recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, but they do not list any known species.[5]
