Hymenolepis is a South African genus of flowering plants in the daisy family.[2][3][4]

Hymenolepis is differentiated from Athanasia by the pappus scales and slender capitulum.[2] Some Euryops species are similar, but are distinguishable by their smaller flower heads that appear earlier, and their undivided leaves.

Species[1][5]
  • Hymenolepis cynopus K.Bremer & Källersjö
  • Hymenolepis dentata (DC.) Källersjö
  • Hymenolepis gnidioides (S.Moore) Källersjö
  • Hymenolepis incisa DC.
  • Hymenolepis indivisa (Harv.) Källersjö
  • Hymenolepis parviflora (L.) DC.
  • Hymenolepis speciosa (Hutch.) Källersjö
Species in homotypic genus[5][6]

In 1824, Kaulfuss[7] used the same name, Hymenolepis, to refer to some ferns in the Polypodiaceae. Names created using this illegitimate generic name:

  • Hymenolepis callifolia C.Chr. - Belvisia mucronata Copel.
  • Hymenolepis glauca (Copel.) C.Chr. - Belvisia glauca (Copel.) Copel.
  • Hymenolepis minor Copel. - Belvisia mucronata Copel.
  • Hymenolepis novoguineensis (Rosenst.) C.Chr. - Belvisia novoguineensis (Rosenst.) Copel.
  • Hymenolepis ophioglossoides Kaulf. - Belvisia spicata (L.f.) Mirb.
  • Hymenolepis platyrhynchos Kunze - Belvisia platyrhynchos (Kunze) Copel.
  • Hymenolepis rigidissima C.Chr.- ?
  • Hymenolepis spicata (L.f.) C.Presl - Belvisia spicata (L.f.) Mirb.
  • Hymenolepis validinervis Kunze - Belvisia validinervis (Kunze) Copel.
  • Hymenolepis vaupelii Hieron. ex C. Chr. - Belvisia mucronata Copel.
