Roepera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Zygophyllaceae, subfamily Zygophylloideae.
[2] The genus Roepera was first published by Adrien-Henri de Jussieu in 1825, for two Australian species of Zygophyllum.
In 2003, Beier et al. resurrected Roepera as part of revising Zygophyllum to make it monophyletic.
[2] As of January 2018[update], Plants of the World Online recognized 60 species:[1] Roepera has a discontinuous distribution.
[1] The genus appears to have originated in Africa, and dispersed into Australia about 12 million years ago.
