Fischeripollis is a genus of extinct plants in the family Droseraceae. Several species have been formally described and another has been temporarily designated Fischeripollis sp. A.[1]
F. halensis was described based on fossilised pollen from middle-late Eocene sediments in the Hale Basin of central Australia.[2] F. krutschei was discovered in Saxony, Germany. F. undulatus was also native to Europe.
