Loxostigma is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. [1]
Its native range is Himalaya to Southern China and Indo-China. [1]
Species: [1]
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.
Aeschynanthus is a genus of about 150 species of evergreen subtropical and tropical plants in the family Gesneriaceae. They are usually trailing epiphytes with brightly colored flowers that are pollinated by sunbirds. The genus name comes from a contraction of aischuno and anthos (flower). The common name for some species is "lipstick plant", which comes from the appearance of the developing buds. A full list of the accepted species and their synonyms can be found in the Smithsonian Institution's World Checklist of Gesneriaceae.
Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia is a section within Streptocarpus subgenus Streptocarpella consisting of about ten species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa. The section was previously treated as a separate genus, Saintpaulia, but molecular phylogenetic studies showed that it was nested within the genus Streptocarpus.
Petrocosmea is a genus of the family Gesneriaceae, the African violet family. Most of the species within this genus are endemic to high-altitude areas in Western China, although some are native to other parts of Asia. It is a rosette forming genus that generally grows on wet mossy rocks or forests.
Briggsia was a genus in the family Gesneriacae that consisted of 22 species of herbaceous perennials, native to the Himalayas, China and Vietnam. The genus is no longer recognized, with all of its member species having been relocated to other genera, including Glabrella, Loxostigma, and Oreocharis.
Primulina is a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae. In 2011 the genus was expanded with the transfer of many species that had previously been placed in the genus Chirita. In 2016, five species were moved to the genus Deinostigma.
Callicarpa (beautyberry) is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the family Lamiaceae. They are native to east and southeast Asia, Australia, Madagascar, southeast North America and South America.
Rhynchoglossum is a genus of plant in family Gesneriaceae. In recent times, members of the former genus Klugia are also included. Species within the broader genus are found in India, southern China to New Guinea and about three species in tropical America. The genus has a leaf arrangement that is termed as alternate-distichous and the leaves are asymmetric in shape. The flowers have two lips. The older genus Klugia had four stamens compared to the typical two but Klugia from southern India are found to be very close based on molecular evidence.
Henckelia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. Many of its species were formerly placed in Didymocarpus sect. Orthoboea and in the genus Chirita. Many species formerly placed in Henckelia have been moved to Codonoboea and Loxocarpus.
Deinostigma is a genus in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Vietnam and Southern China. In 2016 the genus was expanded with the transfer of several species that had previously been place in the genus Primulina, to include a total of seven species.
Rhynchotechum is a genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae, subfamily Didymocarpoideae. Species distribution records are mostly from India, Sri Lanka, China through to southern Japan, Indo-China and Malesia through to New Guinea.
Lysionotus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. It occurs in the Himalayas, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The genus was described by David Don in 1822.
Paraboea are a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae, native to southern China, Assam, Indochina, and Malesia. They were recircumscribed from Boea in 2016.
Beccarinda is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Boeica is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Chayamaritia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Glabrella is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Hemiboea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Ornithoboea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Raphiocarpus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
