Sagaria is an extinct genus of flowering plant in the Ranunculaceae (the buttercup family) which existed in southern Italy during the Albian age.[1] The type species is Sagaria cilentana.

Taxonomy

The genus was erected based on a single specimen (part and counterpart) retrieved from an exposure in the Alburni mountains near Petina, in the Campania region. The locality was already known for both crustacean and plant fossils.[2] The name is dedicated to the collector of the specimen, Giovanni Sagaria.[1]
