''Verticordia'' sect. ''Chrysorhoe'' is a section of ''Verticordia'' that describes a group of four shrub species. The section is contained by a subgenus, ''Verticordia'' subg. ''Chrysoma'', in Alex George's 1991 revision of the genus. The sections name, which may refer to the flowers, is derived from Greek, ''chryso-'' and ''rhoe'', translating as a golden stream. It conserves the name given by John Lindley to the type species for this section, ''Verticordia nitens'', which he named as Chrysorhoe nitens in 1837. The species was transferred to ''Verticordia'' by Stephan Endlicher the following year. The species included within this section are: :Section ''Verticordia'' sect. ''Chrysorhoe'' ::''V. patens'' - ''V. nitens'' - ''V. aurea'' The characteristics of this section's florescence are a corymbous, sometimes dense, arrangement of glistening flowers, yellow, orange or golden, with toothed margins on the petals. The leaves are needle-like. They are inflexible and upright shrubs no taller than 2 metres. == References == * *George, A.S.
