{{Inc| Whitfieldia (named after Thomas Whitfield, intrepid naturalist who made several explorations into Trop. W. Afr. and brought back many choice plants). Acanthaceae. Glabrous shrubs, rarely used as warm-house ornamentals: lvs. opposite, entire: fls. white or brick-colored, solitary in the axils of opposing bracts, arranged in a terminal raceme; calyx 5-parted, segms. membranaceous, colored, oblong or lanceolate; corolla-tube swollen almost from the base or slender-cylindrical and abruptly inflexed above widening to a campanulate throat, 5-lobed, lobes ovate or oblong-lanceolate; stamens 4, in pairs.—About 17 species, Trop. Afr. The material which has been offered in Amer. as W. lateritia is really Jacobinia carnea (see Vol. III, p. 1714): the true W. lateritia, Hook., is rarely cult. and is a tender evergreen shrub about 3 ft. high: lvs. ovate or oblong-ovate, wavy: fls. red; corolla bell- or funnel-shaped. W. Trop. Afr. B.M. 4155. F.S. 1:36. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
