Pedaliaceae
Pedaliaceae, the pedalium family or sesame family, is a flowering plant family classified in the order Lamiales. The family includes sesame (''Sesamum indicum''), the source of sesame seeds. It comprises 13 genera and approximately 70 species. Eight genera are native to the African continent and one genus (''Uncarina'') is endemic to Madagascar. Four genera (''Sesamum'', ''Josephinia'', ''Pedalium'' and ''Dicerocaryum'') are mainly African natives but they also include regions to the east (including Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Malayan Islands and northern Australia).Ib Friis and Olof Ryding (Editors) The family has a diverse range of seed and fruit dispersal throughout the various species. Including; animal dispersal via burrs, carried by feet (in ''Dicerocaryum'', ''Harpagophytum'' and ''Josephinia'') or caught in the fur of passing animals (''Uncarina''), winged fruits using the wind for dispersal (''Holubia'' and ''Pterodiscus''), or even winged seeds (''Sesamothamnus ...

Rogeria (plant)
''Rogeria'' is a genus of plants in the Pedaliaceae family consisting of several species, with a native range extending from the island of Cape Verde to Eritrea, Namibia to the Cape Provinces (of South Africa). It is found in the countries of Angola, Burkina, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Eritrea, Mali, Mauritania, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan and South Africa. It was also thought to be found in Brazil as well as Africa,Thomas Moore but this seems to be a mix-up with another shrub species. Some species such as ''Rogeria longiflora'' are medicinal plants. General description ''Rogeria'' species bear long, tubular flowers but with very woody armoured capsules and flattened seeds. It is a varied genus, it does not have solitary flowers (similar to ''Uncarina'' species) and with the common denominator that in the difference in the size of the carpels and the indehiscence (splitting of the seed capsule) of the adaxial carpel.Joachim W.

Sesamum Indicum
Sesame ( or ; ''Sesamum indicum'') is a flowering plant in the genus ''Sesamum'', also called benne. Numerous wild relatives occur in Africa and a smaller number in India. It is widely naturalization (biology), naturalized in tropical regions around the world and is cultivated for its edible seeds, which grow in pods. World production in 2018 was , with Sudan, Myanmar, and India as the largest producers. Sesame seed is one of the oldest oilseed crops known, domesticated well over 3,000 years ago. ''Sesamum'' has many other species, most being wild and native to sub-Saharan Africa. ''S. indicum,'' the cultivated type, originated in India. It tolerates drought conditions well, growing where other crops fail. Sesame has one of the highest oil contents of any seed. With a rich, nutty flavor, it is a common ingredient in cuisines around the world. Like other foods, it can trigger allergy, allergic reactions in some people.

Sesamum
''Sesamum'' is a leguminous crop and genus of about 20 species in the flowering plant family Pedaliaceae. The plants are annual or perennial herbs with edible seeds. The best-known member of the genus is sesame, ''Sesamum indicum'' (syn. ''Sesamum orientale''), the source of sesame seeds. The species are primarily African, with some species occurring in India, Sri Lanka, and China. The origin of ''S. indicum'' is uncertain, as it is widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical regions. The genus is closely related to the strictly African genus '' Ceratotheca'' and is itself probably African in origin.
