Gaura
''Gaura'' was a genus of flowering plants in the family Onagraceae, native to North America. The name was derived from Greek Language, Greek ''(gaûros)'' meaning "superb" and named in reference to the stature and floral display of some species in this genus. The genus included many species known commonly as beeblossoms. Genetic research showed that the genus was paraphyly, paraphyletic unless the monotypic genus ''Stenosiphon'' is included within ''Gaura'', increasing the number of species in the genus to 22.Raven P.

Gaura Lindheimeri
''Oenothera lindheimeri'', commonly known as Lindheimer's beeblossom, white gaura, pink gaura, Lindheimer's clockweed, and Indian feather, is a species of ''Oenothera''. Several of its common names derive from the genus ''Gaura'', in which this species was formerly placed. The perennial plant is native to southern Louisiana and Texas.USDA Plants Profile''Gaura lindheimeri''/ref> The specific epithet is after Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer, a German-born botanist who collected extensively in Texas for Harvard University professor Asa Gray. It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant. Description ''Oenothera lindheimeri'' is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to tall, with densely clustered branched stems growing from an underground rhizome. The leaves are finely hairy, lanceolate, long and broad, with a coarsely toothed margin. The flowers are produced on a inflorescence; they are pink or white, in diameter, with four petals long and long hairlike stamens, and are produce ...

Gaura Biennis
''Oenothera gaura'', formerly known as ''Gaura biennis'', the biennial gaura or biennial beeblossom, is a North American flowering plant that can reach in height at maturity. Its upper half is made up of flowering stems, which are covered with soft, white hairs. It has light pink colored flowers, which turn a vibrant red/pink color in the late summer to early fall seasons (typically August to September). These colors make this plant attractive to butterflies and bees, and are in full bloom just before many fall plant species begin to bloom. Research has been done in order to test the hybridization between different species of the section ''Oenothera'' sect. ''Gaura'' and to describe why many members of this group are so similar morphologically. According to Carr et al., readily crossbreeds with ''Gaura longiflora'' (now called '' Oenothera filiformis''), and showed it is a direct derivative from ''G. longiflora'', but the specialized feature of permanent translocation heterozygos ...

''Oenothera suffrutescens'' (syn. ''Gaura coccinea'') is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family known as scarlet beeblossom and scarlet gaura. Description Scarlet beeblossom is a perennial herb growing from a woody base and heavy roots. The stems may reach anywhere from 10 centimeters in height to over a meter and sprawling, and they are often covered in small, stiff hairs. The thin to thick clumps of stems are covered in linear to somewhat oval-shaped leaves one to seven centimeters long. Atop the stems are spike inflorescences of several flowers each. The flower has four long, stiff sepals which open and fall away from the flower to lie reflexed toward the stem. There are four spoon-shaped petals which are white to yellowish and may turn pink with age. Each flower has eight long stamens with large red, pink, or yellowish anthers arranged around a long stigma. The flowers are strongly scented. The fruit is a woody capsule under a centimeter long.
