'''''Mirabilis''''' is a genus in the family [[Nyctaginaceae]], perhaps the best know genus in the family. Its most famous species is ''[[Mirabilis jalapa]]'', the Four-o'clock flower. Also see ''[[Mirabilis longiflora]]''.
There are several dozen species in the genus, of herbaceous plants, mostly found in the [[Americas]]. Sometimes they have [[tuberous root]]s which enables them to perennate through dry and cool seasons. They have small, deep-throated [[flower]]s, often fragrant.
Although best known as [[ornamental plant]]s, at least one species, ''[[Mirabilis expansa]]'', mauka, is grown for food.
