Oenothera tetraptera is found in dry, open areas such as roadsides, fields, and disturbed habitats.

Oenothera tetraptera, commonly known as fourwing evening primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family native to the Americas. It has since naturalized in other areas, including southern Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. It was first formally named by Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles in 1796. It is an annual or short-lived perennial herb growing 15–50 cm tall with four-petaled, white flowers that open around sunset and change from white to pinkish purple as they age. The fruit is a hairy, obovoid capsule, 7–18 mm in length with wings 2–3 mm wide on the valves. It is found in dry, open areas such as roadsides, fields, and disturbed habitats.
