Sebaea is a genus of annual plants in the family Gentianaceae. [1] Species occur in Africa, Madagascar, India, China, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. [1] [2] The genus was paraphyletic and has been split in four genera: Exochaenium , Klackenbergia , Lagenias and Sebaeas.str.. [1] [3] [4] Synapomorphies for Sebaea s.str. include the presence of extra stigma along the style [5] (called diplostigmaty [6] [7] ) and the shape of the testa cells of the seeds. [1]

The name honors Albertus Seba (1665–1736), a Dutch pharmacist, zoologist and collector. [8]
