Serruria nivenii is 'n struik wat tot die genus Serruria behoort. Bevolkings van hierdie swak bekende, en ongewone spesies, word eers onlangs erken in die Groenlandberg naby Elgin, die Swartberg by Caledon, en die boonste dele van die Kleinrivierberge by Hermanus. Die plant is vernoem na die Skotse plantkundige James Niven. Dit was ook tevore bekend as Serruria plumosa en Serruria scariosa. Nelson, E. C., & Rourke, J. P. (1993).
