Chrysorhoe is a section that describes three shrub species in the genus Verticordia.

They have needle-like leaves and their flowers are arranged corymb-like, sometimes densely on the ends of the branches.

The flowers are orange, gold-coloured or yellow and the petals have toothed margins, the anthers have a flattened, swollen appendage and the staminodes are narrow.

[1] One of the three species in this section is Verticordia nitens which was first described by John Lindley in 1837.

[4] When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991, he described the section and gave it the name Chrysorhoe[5][6] conserving Lindley's original name for the species.
