Species of Evening primrose

Chylismiella
Lopezia
Lopezia is a genus of plants of the family Onagraceae, largely restricted to Mexico. According to the Plant List, 22 species are recognized in the genus lopezia.
Enchanter's nightshades
Enchanter's nightshades (Circaea) are a small genus of flowering plants that grow in temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. These woodland species disperse their seeds by way of burrs, which easily attach to fur, feathers and clothing. Enchanter's nightshades commonly have small white flowers and slender stems with opposite leaves.
Chylismia
Chylismia includes about 16 species.
Eulobus
Sun cup
Sun cup is a genus of annual and perennial plants in the evening primrose family Onagraceae. A total of 12 species are known, nearly all from western North America, especially in the California Floristic Province, but also one from South America. The flowers generally open at dawn, and may be yellow, white, or lavender, often with darker shades at the base. They are usually cup-shaped, thus the common name. The species of sun cup are distinguished by having a club- or head-shaped stigma, instead of the 4-part-divided stigma of Oenothera or Clarkia.

Evening Primrose
The evening Primrose (Oenothera) are a group of herbaceous flowering plants. These plants are so-called because many of them bloom at dusk and stay open overnight – because of this trait, they are an important source of food for nighttime pollinators, such as moths and bats. Many evening Primrose are planted ornamentally. They are especially popular in the American southwest, where they are prized for their showy flowers and their high tolerance to drought.
Fuchsias
The fuchsias are a group of flowering shrubs and small trees in the evening primrose family. Fuchsias are extremely popular as ornamental plants – they tend to bear pendulous flowers with distinctive forms and striking colors. The use of the word "fuschia" to describe a bright shade of purplish-red is derived from these plants (not the other way around).

Gaura
Gaura features airy, butterfly-like blooms that sway in the breeze. The flowers come in shades of white or pink, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This drought-tolerant plant is perfect for rock gardens and borders, or mixed in with other wildflowers for a natural, meadow-like effect.
Groundsmoke
Tetrapteron
Eremothera
There are at least two described species in eremothera.

Camissoniopsis
As of winter 2015 The Plant List recognises 17 taxa (of species and infraspecific names).
Primrose-Willow
Primrose-Willow are a widespread genus of tropical and subtropical aquatic plants. Many species are noxious and harmful to native aquatic plant life, due to their dense, fast-growing nature. In some areas, some species of this genus are on the plant quarantine list, banned from being transported, bought or sold.
Willowherbs
The willowherbs (Epilobium) are a large and highly diverse group of flowering plants in the evening primrose family. Willowherbs can be extremely hardy plants, and they are often some of the first to colonize disturbed or burnt landscapes. Many willowherbss are used symbolically or in crests or sigils - Fireweed (C. angustifolium), for instance, is the official flower of the Yukon Territory, and is displayed on its flag.

Clarkia
Clarkia are a long-lasting annual wildflower often found in wildflower mixes. It often produces double or triple petals with vibrant colors such as pink. The scientific name Clarkia was named after William Clark who led the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806. It is native to the United States, becoming more common in California due to its inclusion in flower mixes.
