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.
