Harperia

Harperia is a group of plants in the Restionaceae described as a genus in 1904. The entire genus is endemic to the State of Western Australia.

• Harperia confertospicata <small>(Steud.) B.G.Briggs & L.A.S.Johnson</small>
• Harperia eyreana <small>B.G.Briggs & L.A.S.Johnson</small>
• Harperia ferruginipes <small>Meney & Pate</small>
• Harperia lateriflora <small>W.Fitzg.</small>

In 1905, Rose applied the name Harperia to a plant in the Apiaceae, thus creating an illegitimate homonym. He also created one species name within his genus, i.e.

• Harperia nodosa <small>Rose</small>, syn of Harperella nodosa <small>(Rose) Rose</small> or Ptilimnium nodosum <small>(Rose) Mathias</small> or Carum nodosum <small>(Rose) Koso-Pol.</small>
