Archeria traversii is a species of shrub in the family Ericaceae.

[2] It is notably absent from Marlborough and much of the eastern South Island.

[3] It is largely found in shrublands and conifer-broadleaf forests, at lowland to montane altitudes.

[6] Archeria was named by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1844 after the nineteenth-century Tasmanian botanist W. Archer.

The specific epithet traversii comes from William Travers, a 19th-century New Zealand naturalist and politician, after whom the plant species was named.
