Neobassia is a genus of small shrubs in the family Chenopodiaceae (sensu stricto), which are included in Amaranthaceae (sensu lato) according to the APG classification.[1][2] Species are endemic to Australia.

Description

Species have alternate, sessile leaves. Flowers are bisexual, solitary in the leaf axil. The perianth is 5-lobed with 5 stamens. The fruiting perianth is cylindrical, crustaceous to woody, with 5 spines arising from the base of the lobes, which distinguishes it from Sclerolaena. Pericarp membranous, seed vertical, testa membranous, embryo U-shaped, with an erect radicle, perisperm central.[3][4]
