Rogeria is a genus of plants in the Pedaliaceae family consisting of several species, with a native range extending from the island of Cape Verde to Eritrea, Namibia to the Cape Provinces (of South Africa).
It is found in the countries of Angola, Burkina, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Eritrea, Mali, Mauritania, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan and South Africa.[1] It was also thought to be found in Brazil as well as Africa,[2] but this seems to be a mix-up with another shrub species.
Some species such as Rogeria longiflora are medicinal plants.[3]
