:''If you're looking for the popular flowering houseplant known as Gloxinia, see [[Sinningia speciosa]].'' '''''Gloxinia''''' is a [[genus]] of three species of [[tropical]] [[rhizomatous]] [[herb]]s in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Gesneriaceae]]. The species are primarily found in the [[Andes]] of [[South America]] but ''Gloxinia perennis'' is also found in [[Central America]] and the [[West Indies]], where it has probably escaped from cultivation. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== *''[[Gloxinia perennis]]'' has a wide range in Central and South America. The plant is an herb with large nodding, purple, mint-scented flowers. It is sometimes known as "Canterbury Bells" (not to be confused with members of the genus ''[[Campanula]]'', which go by the same name). It is cultivated in tropical regions and its original range is unknown. *''[[Gloxinia erinoides]]'' (syn. ''Koellikeria erinoides'') occurs from Costa Rica to Bolivia. The plant is a small herb with tiny white and maroon flowers. This diminutive plant is notable for having tiny but distinctly coconut-scented flowers and is occasionally cultivated as a houseplant. *''[[Gloxinia xanthophylla]]'' (syn. ''Anodiscus xanthophyllus'') occurs in Ecuador and Peru. The plant is a shrubby herb with small white flowers and is rarely encountered in cultivation. Unlike the other two species it lacks scaly rhizomes. ;Excluded species *''Gloxinia burchellii'' = ''[[Sphaerorrhiza burchellii]]'' *''Gloxinia dodsonii'' = ''[[Nomopyle dodsonii]]'' *''Gloxinia gymnostoma'' = ''[[Seemannia gymnostoma]]'' *''Gloxinia ichthyostoma'' = ''[[Mandirola ichthyostoma]]'' *''Gloxinia lindeniana'' = ''[[Gloxinella lindeniana]]'' *''Gloxinia nematanthodes'' = ''[[Seemannia nematanthodes]]'' *''Gloxinia planalta'' = ''[[Mandirola multiflora]]'' *''Gloxinia purpurascens'' = ''[[Seemannia purpurascens]]'' *''Gloxinia racemosa'' = ''[[Gloxiniopsis racemosa]]'' *''Gloxinia reflexa'' = ''[[Monopyle reflexa]]'' *''Gloxinia rupestris'' = ''[[Mandirola rupestris]]'' *''Gloxinia sarmentiana'' = ''[[Sphaerorrhiza sarmentiana]]'' *''Gloxinia speciosa'' = ''[[Sinningia speciosa]]'' *''Gloxinia sylvatica'' = ''[[Seemannia sylvatica]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
