''Codonanthe'' is a genus of mainly Epiphyte, 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 name, hybrid genus × ''Codonatanthus''. Description ''Codonanthe'' species are subshrubs, generally growing as epiphytes, occasionally on rocks. Unlike ''Codonanthopsis'' species, they never grow in ant gardens. They have stems with few branches, which may be upright, creeping or hanging, and often produce roots along their length (adventitious roots). The leaves have a short or very short Petiole (botany), petiole (stalk), and are fleshy, with either smooth or hairy sur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
