'''''Anagallis''''' is a formerly recognized genus of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Primulaceae]]. It had about 20–25 species, commonly called '''pimpernels'''. [[Molecular phylogenetics|Molecular phylogenetic]] studies showed that ''Anagallis'' was embedded in the genus ''[[Lysimachia]]'', so its species were transferred to that genus. The [[Lysimachia arvensis|scarlet pimpernel]] referred to in literature was part of this genus.
