Rhexia (Deer Grass, Meadow Beauty) is a genus of plants in the Melastomataceae family. Like many other flowers in that family, Rhexia virginica is buzz pollinated and has yellow stamens which change color following the first day of flowering. In North America, Rhexia is the only temperate genus in the family; the others are confined to warmer areas.
