| + | '''''Sanchezia''''' is a [[genus]] of the [[plant]] [[family (biology)|family]] [[Acanthaceae]]. It is estimated to contain about 20 to 50 [[species]]. Members of this genus are [[shrub]]s, rarely small [[tree]]s or [[herb]]s, occurring in the lowlands of tropical [[South America|South]] and [[Central America]]. A close relative is ''[[Suessenguthia]]'', which looks quite similar.<ref>Leonard & Smith (1964)</ref> |
| + | |
| + | Because they have large, colorful [[bract]]s and flowers, and sometimes even colorful leaves, several [[species]] are cultivated as ornamental plants throughout the tropics and in botanical gardens of temperate areas. Examples for species well known from cultivation are ''[[Sanchezia nobilis|S. nobilis]]'', ''[[Sanchezia parvibracteata|S. parvibracteata]]'' and ''[[Sanchezia speciosa|S. speciosa]]''. In some areas, ornamental species have become problematic as [[invasive weed]]s. On the other hand, ''[[Sanchezia lampra|S. lampra]]'' from [[Ecuador]] is almost [[extinct]]. |
| + | |
| + | ''Sanchezia'' is named for [[José Sanchez (botanist)|José Sanchez]], a nineteenth-century professor of botany at [[Cadiz]], [[Spain]].<ref>Clay ''et al.'' (1987): p.242</ref> |
