Heliophila

''Heliophila'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Brassicaceae family. Members of this genus are either annuals or perennials and some are popular as ornamental plants. Endemic to southern Africa, the majority of the approximately 80 species grow in South Africa, particularly the Cape Floristic Region, while a few extend into the Namib Desert.〔
==Taxonomic history==
The first recognised published description of ''Heliophila'' appears in the second edition of ''Species Plantarum'' by Carl Linnaeus, printed in 1763. He attributes his description, however, to Nicolaas Laurens Burman, a Dutch botanist.〔 The generic name ''Heliophila'' is Latin but originally derived from the Ancient Greek words ''hēlios'' (ἥλιος), meaning "sun", and ''phílos'' (φίλος), meaning "dear" or "beloved", and refers to the blooms opening in sun and closing at night or in overcast conditions, a habit of many of the species within the genus.〔〔
In general, contention abounds regarding phylogenetic relationships in the family Brassicaceae. In the past, using morphological characters to establish tribes and genera was misleading and created dissension among systematists. The classification of species within Brassicaceae is gradually resolving through molecular phylogeny investigation, using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) data and other new-found sequencing knowledge.〔〔
Previously within the tribe Heliophileae were six genera, all endemic to southern Africa: ''Heliophila'', ''Cycloptychis'', ''Schlechteri'', ''Silicularia'', ''Thlaspeocarpa'', and ''Brachycarpaea''. The latter five genera contained among them only seven species, having been differentiated from the ''Heliophila'' genus mainly on the morphological differences of the fruits they bore. Following extensive analysis of molecular evidence (nuclear (ITS) and plastid (trnL-F) DNA sequence data), Heliophileae was found to be monophyletic and species of the five small genera were reduced to synonymy with ''Heliophila''.〔〔〔
