Hermas is a genus of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to Cape Provinces of South Africa.
Taxonomy The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1771. A 2021 molecular phylogenetic study found that it did not belong to any of the four subfamilies of the Apiaceae, and suggested that it could be placed in a subfamily of its own.
