Lesquerella

Lesquerella is the former name of a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. Recent work has shown that "Lesquerella" is indistinct from the genus "Physaria" and both genera have been united under "Physaria". In addition, the former "Lesquerella" of the southeastern United States have been moved to the genus "Paysonia" since 2002. The genus "Lesquerella" is now no longer applied to any species and is considered defunct.
The genus is named in honor of Leo Lesquereux, 1805–1889, Swiss and American botanist.
