Name

Roepera A.Juss., Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. 12: 454, t. 15. f. 3. (1825)

Type species: Roepera fruticulosa (DC.) G.Don, Gen. Hist. 1: 771. (1831) originally designated as synonym Roepera fabagifolia A.Juss., Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat. 12: 525, t. 15. (1825)

Note: Govaerts et al. (2020) subsume this genus into an expanded Zygophyllum L. (1753), but WS maintains a conservative view, as not all other authorities accept this.
