Olgaea is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the tribe Cardueae within the family Asteraceae, having a typical thistle appearance.[1][2][3]

In 1922, Modest Mikhaĭlovich Iljin (a botanist from the Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences of Soviet Russia) named the genus in honour of Olga Fedtschenko (a Russian botanist 1845–1921).[4]

Olgaea's genome consists of a diploid number of 2n=26 chromosomes.[5]
