  Selenia is a genus of flowering plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to central North America. The genus includes species such as Selenia aurea (golden selenia), which is known for its brilliant yellow flowers and restricted distribution. In Missouri, Selenia aurea is limited to a handful of counties in the southwestern part of the state, where it occurs primarily in glade habitats. The genus is notable for forming large colonies with spectacular floral displays when conditions are favorable.
