Pachycaulos is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. It has two species, Pachycaulos nummularia [1] and Pachycaulos huancabambae [2] . Its native range is Southeastern Mexico to Peru. [1]
The species was first described as Hypocyrta nummularia by Johannes von Hanstein in 1865. The epithet nummularia is a noun in apposition. In 2013, J.L. Clark and J.F. Smith moved it to their new genus Pachycaulos using the incorrect adjectival form of the epithet, nummularium, rather than the correct nummularia. [3]
Columnea is a genus of around 200 species of epiphytic herbs and shrubs in the family Gesneriaceae, native to the tropics of the Americas and the Caribbean. The tubular or oddly shaped flowers are usually large and brightly colored – usually red, yellow, or orange – sometimes resembling a fish in shape. A common name is flying goldfish plants due to the unusual flower shape.
Reldia is a genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae. They are also in the Beslerieae tribe.
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.
Glossoloma is a genus of Neotropical plants in the family Gesneriaceae. The species in the genus were formerly placed in Alloplectus. They are subshrubs with the leaves clustered at the ends of branches, and tubular flowers.
Sanango is a genus of flowering plants containing a single species, Sanango racemosum. The genus was originally placed in family Loganiaceae but has since been variously placed in Scrophulariaceae, Gesneriaceae and Buddlejaceae. As of 2016 it is considered to be the sister genus to the family Gesneriaceae as previously defined, and the family was tentatively enlarged to include the genus, pending a revision of the families included in Lamiales. It has been placed as the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Sanangoideae.
Fieldia australiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. It is a small tree from eastern Australian rainforests. It has also been placed as the sole species in the monotypic genus Lenbrassia.
The Gesnerioideae are a subfamily of plants in the family Gesneriaceae: based on the type genus Gesneria. Although genera typically originate in the New World, some species have become widely distributed as ornamental plants.
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.
Trichodrymonia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Christopheria is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
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.
Coptocheile is a monotypic genus of flowering plants possibly belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. Its only species is Coptocheile macrorhiza. It is native to Brazil.
Cremosperma is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Lesia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, subfamily Gesnerioideae.
Fieldia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria in Australia. It has at times been treated as monotypic, with one species, F. australis. Two are accepted as of April 2021 by sources that include Lenbrassia in Fieldia.
Cobananthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, with a single species Cobananthus calochlamys. It is sometimes included in the genus Alloplectus, but molecular phylogenetic studies suggest that the two genera are not closely related, with Cobananthus more closely related to Alsobia.
Rufodorsia is a genus of epiphytic flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. The genus name refers to the reddish back of the upper lobes of the flower. The relationship of Rufodorsia with the genus Oerstedina is uncertain, as of April 2021. It is native to montane cloud forest in Central America.
Neomortonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. It just contains one species, Neomortonia roseaWiehler
Pagothyra is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
Johnstonalia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rhamnaceae. The only species is Johnstonalia axilliflora(M.C.Johnst.) Tortosa
