Orogenia is a small genus of flowering plants in the carrot family known generally as Indian potato. There are two species, both native to the western United States. They are perennial herbs, and though not related to true potatoes, they have tuberous roots which helped earn them their common name.

Species:

  • Orogenia fusiformis - California Indian potato
  • Orogenia linearifolia - Great Basin Indian potato
  • Orogenia
