Herbertia is a small genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the family Iridaceae.

The leaves are few, with the basal ones larger than the others; the blade is pleated, linear-lanceolate.

One of them is native to southeastern + south-central United States, while the others are distributed in South America.

[1] The genus is closely related to Alophia, Cypella, and Tigridia.

The name of the genus is dedicated to William Herbert (1778–1847), a prominent British botanist and specialist in bulbous plants.
