genus offlowering plant s in the familyMalvaceae which are endemic to Australia. Its species were formerly in the genusHibiscus but were split off starting in 1863 with "H. hakaeifolius". In 1915 Lewton transferred "H. cuneiformis" and in Fryxell (1968) "H. pinonianus" and "H. huegelii" followed. A recent revision has created many new species.The name Alyogyne comes from the Greek words "alytos" (undivided) and "gyne" (female). "Gyne" referers to the styles which are female parts of a flower. In Hibiscus, the style is branched below the stigmas but in Alyogyne it is undivided.
