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.  [ es; pt ]
• 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]
