Mirabilis is a genus of plants in the family Nyctaginaceae known as the four-o'clocks or umbrellaworts. The best known species may be Mirabilis jalapa, the plant most commonly called four o'clock.
There are several dozen species in the genus, of herbaceous plants, mostly found in the Americas. Some form tuberous roots that enable them to perennate through dry and cool seasons. They have small, deep-throated flowers, often fragrant.
Although best known as ornamental plants, at least one species, mauka ( M. expansa), is grown for food.

Mirabilis is a neoclassical dark wave musical project formed in 2001 by Dru Allen of This Ascension and Summer Bowman of the Machine in the Garden. Mirabilis uses vocals as the primary instrumentation, crafting original musical compositions and interpreting traditional classical vocal pieces from a number of different periods. The music is melodic and borrows from classical, ethereal, darkwave, and gothic genres. The name Mirabilis is Latin for something that is wonderful, miraculous, or unusual.
In December 2003, the band's first release, a limited edition 7-inch self-titled EP was released on Fossil Dungeon. They quickly followed up with a full-length debut CD in 2004 on the Middle Pillar Presents label. The album Pleiades is named for a mysterious star cluster which in Greek mythology told the fates of seven sisters.
Dru and Summer are the core members of Mirabilis, but they use the project as an avenue to bring in other like-minded artists as guest performers and the album features Dru and Summer as well as guest vocalists Regeana Morris (of The Changelings), Katy Belle (of Matson Belle), Sleepthief and Rebecca Colleen Miller.
In 2007, Projekt Records and Middle Pillar Presents jointly released the band's second full-length release, Sub Rosa.
