'''''Anisacanthus''''' is a genus of plants in the family [[Acanthaceae]] native to tropical and subtropical regions of the [[Americas]], and sometimes cultivated for use in [[xeriscape]] landscaping. They are sometimes known as "desert honeysuckles", though this term is shared with the genus ''[[Ancistranthus]]'', and is something of a misnomer as true honeysuckles belong to the family [[Caprifoliaceae]]. {{Inc| Anisacanthus (Greek, unequal acanthus). Acanthaceae. A genus of 6 species of Mexican and American shrubs, with mostly lanceolate, entire, petioled opposite or clustered Lvs., and loosely spicate or scattered red fls. 1 in or more long; corolla-lobes 4, the tube 2-lipped, the upper lip 3-parted, the lower entire; stamens 2, equaling or exceeding the corolla-lobes. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== * ''[[Anisacanthus abditus]]'' [[Townshend Stith Brandegee|Brandegee]] * ''[[Anisacanthus andersonii]]'' [[Thomas Franklin Daniel|T.F.
