Graderia[1] is a genus of plants in the family Orobanchaceae, which is native to Africa and Socotra.[2] It belongs to the tribe Buchnereae.[3] It is a hemiparasitic taxon.[4]

Etymology

Graderia is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the confamilial genus Gerardia. The latter name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the English botanist John Gerard.[5]
