Oenothera organensis, the Organ Mountains evening-primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Onagraceae, native to a few valleys in the Organ Mountains of New Mexico.[1] With only a few thousand individuals, it is nevertheless well-studied due to its complete self-incompatibility, which would seem to be maladaptive in such a rare species.[2]
