Vanhouttea is a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae, native to south-eastern Brazil. They are pollinated by hummingbirds. [3]
Currently accepted species include:
Gesneriaceae, the gesneriad family, is a family of flowering plants consisting of about 152 genera and ca. 3,540 species in the tropics and subtropics of the Old World and the New World, with a very small number extending to temperate areas. Many species have colorful and showy flowers and are cultivated as ornamental plants.
Kohleria is a New World genus of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The plants are generally tropical herbs or subshrubs with velvety stems and foliage and brightly colored flowers with spots or markings in contrasting colors. They are rhizomatous and commonly include a period of dormancy in their growth cycle. The genus was revised in 1992 and was then recognized as having 19 species distributed in Central America and South America. phylogenetic in 2005 indicated that the epiphytic genus Capanea is derived from within Kohleria, and the two species of Capanea were subsequently transferred to Kohleria. The genus Pearcea is closely related.
Sinningia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. It is named after Wilhelm Sinning (1792–1874), a gardener of the Botanische Gärten der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. There are about 65 species of tuberous herbaceous perennials, all occurring in Central and South America, with the greatest concentration of species occurring in southern Brazil.
Nematanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. All of its species are endemic to Brazil. Compared to other gesneriads, Nematanthus has leaves that are small, succulent, and hard-surfaced. The plant has a trailing, branching, and spreading habit; it is generally an epiphyte in nature and a hanging-basket plant in cultivation. The flower has fused petals. In some species, the flower has a "pouch" at the bottom. The fancied resemblance of such flowers to a goldfish gives these plants the common name goldfish plant or guppy plant.
Monopyle is a genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae.
Codonanthe is a genus of mainly epiphytic plants in the family Gesneriaceae, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The botanical name comes from the Ancient Greek for 'bellflower'. They have white or pale pink flowers and somewhat fleshy leaves. In 2013, the genus was reduced in size when more than half of the species were transferred to Codonanthopsis. They can be grown as houseplants, particularly in hanging baskets. Artificial crosses with Nematanthus hybrids have produced the hybrid genus × Codonatanthus.
Diastema is a genus of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae containing approximately 20 species ranging from Mexico to Bolivia and Venezuela.
The Botanical Garden of São Paulo is a botanical garden in São Paulo, Brazil. The park spans a 164.45-hectare (406.4-acre) area in the Fontes do Ipiranga State Park, at the district of Água Funda, in São Paulo's South zone, next to São Paulo Zoo. It houses the state's Botanical Institute. It was founded, in its current location, in 1928, by the botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne.
Sinningia bullata is a tuberous member of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. It produces small orange-red flowers and is found in Brazil. It is named for its bullate leaves, and also produces a woolly backing to its leaves.
Sinningia globulosa is a tuberous member of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. It is found in Brazil.
Sinningia helioana is a tuberous member of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. It is found in Brazil.
Codonanthopsis elegans is a plant species in the family Gesneriaceae. It is native to Belize.
Alain Chautems is research associate at the Geneva "Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève, Switzerland. He specialized in some of the most diverse Gesneriaceae of Brazil. Until 2016, he was researcher and curator at the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva.
Codonanthopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. Its native range is from southern Mexico through tropical America to Bolivia and most of Brazil. Codonanthopsis species are generally trailing epiphytes with pale flowers. Most have a mutualistic relationship with tree-living ants: the plants provide the ants with food, including nectar, and give their nests structure and support, while the ants disperse the plants' seeds. The genus was considerably expanded in 2013 when species were transferred from Codonanthe. Some Codonanthopsis species are cultivated as houseplants, when they may be grown in hanging baskets.
Lesia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, subfamily Gesnerioideae.
Mandirola is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Paliavana is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Sphaerorrhiza is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Codonanthopsis uleana is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. This species is native to Mexico and America. Is an epiphyte and mainly grows in wet tropical biomes. This species was first published in 2013.
