Chamaesaracha is a genus of perennial herbs in the nightshade family which are known commonly as five eyes.

These are hairy plants growing low to the ground and covered in crinkly dull green leaves. The flowers are star-shaped to wheel-shaped and their dried remnants can be found around the fruits, which are spherical berries filled with flat, kidney-shaped seeds.
