Caylusea hexagyna (Forssk.) M.L.Green is a species in the family Resedaceae, native to regions across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It was first described in 1926.

Description

Caylusea hexagyna is a member of the Resedaceae family and is distributed across Algeria, Cape Verde, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, India, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon-Syria, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sinai, Socotra, and Somalia. The species was published in 1926 by M.L. Green. It has been noted in taxonomic discussions that Abdallah (1967) considers this species heterotypic with R. canescens L. (1753), which would render it illegitimate under the rules of nomenclature.
