Hypertelis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Molluginaceae. Most of its former species have been transferred to the new genus Kewa, and the remaining species, Hypertelis spergulacea, may also need a different placement. Hypertelis spergulacea is a woody-based plant, up to 30 cm (1 ft) high, with whorled greyish green leaves. It is found on the border between Namibia and the Northern Cape province of South Africa.
