Hermas is a genus of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to Cape Provinces of South Africa.[2]

Taxonomy

The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1771.[1] A 2021 molecular phylogenetic study found that it did not belong to any of the four subfamilies of the Apiaceae, and suggested that it could be placed in a subfamily of its own.[3]

Species

(As of November 2022), Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:[2]

  • Hermas capitata L.f.
  • Hermas ciliata L.f.
  • Hermas gigantea L.f.
  • Hermas intermedia C.Norman
  • Hermas lanata (Hill) Magee
  • Hermas proterantha B.J.de Villiers
  • Hermas quercifolia Eckl. & Zeyh.
  • Hermas quinquedentata L.f.
  • Hermas villosa (L.) Thunb.
