The '''Onagraceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]], known as the '''willowherb family''' or '''evening primrose family''', of [[flowering plant]]s. They include about 650 species of [[Herbaceous plant|herb]]s, [[shrub]]s, and [[tree]]s<ref name=china>[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=10630 Onagraceae.] Flora of China.</ref> in 17 genera.<ref>Ford, V. S. and L. D. Gottlieb. (2007).

The family includes a number of popular [[garden]] plants, including evening primroses (''[[Oenothera]]'') and [[fuchsia]]s (''Fuchsia''). Some, particularly the willowherbs (''[[Epilobium]]'') are common [[weed]]s in gardens and in the wild. One such species is [[Chamaenerion angustifolium|fireweed]] (''Chamaenerion angustifolium'').
 
 
 
The family is characterised by [[flower]]s with usually four [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s; in some genera, such as ''Fuchsia'', the sepals are as brightly coloured as the petals.
 
 
 
The [[seed]]s are generally very small. In some genera, such as ''Epilobium'', they have tufts of hairs<ref>[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=111844 ''Epilobium''.] Flora of China.</ref> and are [[seed dispersal|dispersed]] on the wind. In others, such as ''Fuchsia'', the seeds develop in juicy [[Berry (botany)|berries]] dispersed by animals. The [[leaf|leaves]] are commonly opposite or whorled, but are spirally arranged in some species; in most, they are simple and lanceolate in shape. The [[pollen]] grains in many genera are loosely held together by viscin threads. Most [[bee]]s cannot collect it, and only bees with specialized morphologies can effectively pollinate the flowers; nearly all bee taxa that visit the flowers are [[Oligolecty|oligoleges]] specialized on the family Onagraceae.
 
 
 
The family is named after the genus ''Onagra'' (now known as ''[[Oenothera]]'') in 1836 by [[John Lindley]] in the second edition of ''A Natural System of Botany''.

Several genera are synonymized in the classification presented above, in particular ''[[Calylophus]]'' and ''[[Gaura]]'', which have both been absorbed into ''[[Oenothera]]''; since they still appear often in the literature as belonging to the previous genera, those names remain in place for now with suitable links to the proper genus.
