Sederbergia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae. It includes four species native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.[2]
The species were formerly placed in genus Lampranthus, and later transferred to Esterhuysenia or Oscularia. A phylogenetic and morphological study published in 2024 found the four species formed a clade distinct from these genera, and the authors described the new genus Sederbergia to accommodate them.[3]
