'' Vexatorella '' is a genus containing four species of flowering plant, commonly known as vexators, in the Proteaceae family. The genus is endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. The name means “little trouble-maker”, given with reference to the initial difficulties of placing ''V. latebrosa'' within the family. All species are shrubs which occur in dry fynbos habitats on the fringes of the Succulent Karoo ecoregion. The inflorescences are similar to those of the related leucospermums but also share features of the leucadendrons, with the floral bracts becoming woody and enlarged following pollination. The flowers are insect-pollinated, with the seeds dispersed by ants (myrmecochory).〔 ==Species== Described species include: * ''Vexatorella alpina'' (Salisb. ex Knight) Rourke – * ''Vexatorella amoena'' (Rourke) Rourke –Swartruggens Vexator * ''Vexatorella latebrosa'' Rourke – Robertson Vexator * ''Vexatorella obtusata'' (Thunb.)
