Rydingia (tinjute) is a genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae, first described in 2007. The genus is native to eastern Africa and south-western Asia, and found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Oman, Pakistan, West Himalaya and Yemen.[1]

The genus was circumscribed by Anne-Cathrine Scheen and Victor Anthony Albert in Syst. & Geogr. Pl. vol.77 (2) on page 234 in 2007.[1]

The genus name of Rydingia is in honour of Per Olof Ryding (b.1951), a Swedish botanist and plant collector in Africa, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.[2]
