Ochradenus is a genus of flowering plants in family Resedaceae. It contains the eight species which range from northeastern Africa through the Arabian Peninsula to Iran and India.[1]

Species

Eight species are accepted.[1]

  • Ochradenus arabicus Chaudhary, Hillc. & A.G.Mill.
  • Ochradenus baccatus Delile
  • Ochradenus gifrii Thulin
  • Ochradenus harsusiticus A.G.Mill.
  • Ochradenus lakhpatensis R.M.Patel & Prajapati
  • Ochradenus socotranus A.G.Mill.
  • Ochradenus somalensis Baker f.
  • Ochradenus spartioides (O.Schwartz) Abdallah

A molecular study published in 2007 found that Ochradenus arose from within the ranks of Reseda. Therefore, in future this genus may be abandoned, and its species transferred into Reseda.[2]
