Ehrharta is a genus of plants in the grass family.[1][2]
Most of the species are native to Africa, with others native to the southern Arabian Peninsula, Maluku Islands, Fiji, and New Zealand.[3] Several including Ehrharta longiflora, Ehrharta calycina and Ehrharta erecta have been introduced to parts of North and South America, Europe, India, and Australia,[3] and are considered invasive weeds.[4][5][6][7]
Common names for this genus include veldtgrass.[8][9][10]
This genus was named for the German botanist Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart, 1742–1795.[1][11]
