Hymenolepis is a South African genus of flowering plants in the daisy family.[1][2][3]

Hymenolepis is differentiated from Athanasia by the pappus scales and slender capitulum.[1] Some Euryops species are similar, but are distinguishable by their smaller flower heads that appear earlier, and their undivided leaves.
