'''''Alyogyne''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Malvaceae]] which are endemic to Australia. Its species were formerly in the genus [[Hibiscus]] but were split off starting in 1863 with ''H. hakaeifolius''. In 1915 Lewton transferred ''H. cuneiformis'' and in Fryxell (1968) ''H. pinonianus'' and ''H. huegelii'' followed. A recent revision has created many new species.
The name Alyogyne comes from the Greek words "alytos" (undivided) and "gyne" (female). "Gyne" referers to the [[Carpel|style]]s which are female parts of a flower. In Hibiscus, the style is branched below the [[Carpel|stigma]]s but in Alyogyne it is undivided.
Species include:
*''[[Alyogyne angulata]]''
*''[[Alyogyne angustiloba]]''
*''[[Alyogyne coronopifolia]]''
*''[[Alyogyne cuneiformis]]'' (Coastal Hibiscus)
*''[[Alyogyne hakeifolia]]''
*''[[Alyogyne huegelii]]'' (Lilac Hibiscus)
*''[[Alyogyne lilacina]]''
*''[[Alyogyne multifida]]''
*''[[Alyogyne pinoniana]]'' (Sand Hibiscus)
*''[[Alyogyne purpurea]]''
*''[[Alyogyne pyrrhophila]]''
*''[[Alyogyne wrayae]]''
