Distribution: Temp. and subtropical N- and S-America. Treatment of the Oenothera s. str.-section mostly taken from Dietrich, Wagner & P. H. Raven (1997). The European authors recognize many more apomictic species which have been mostly formed by hybridization after the introduction of few parent species in Europe.
