'''''Sinningia''''' ({{pron-en|sɨˈnɪndʒiə}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a genus of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Gesneriaceae]].  There are about 65 species of [[tuberous]] [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herb]]s, all occurring in [[Central America]] and [[South America]], with the greatest concentration of species occurring in southern [[Brazil]].
 +
 +
The best-known species, ''[[Sinningia speciosa]]'', was originally introduced to cultivation as ''Gloxinia speciosa'' and is still commonly known to gardeners and in the horticultural trade as "gloxinia".  The true genus ''[[Gloxinia (genus)|Gloxinia]]'' is distinguished by having scaly [[rhizomes]] rather than tubers. 
 +
 +
''Sinningia'' species often grow on rocks or cliffs and most are pollinated by [[hummingbirds]] or [[bees]] but ''Sinningia brasiliensis'' is [[bat]]-pollinated, and ''Sinningia tubiflora'', with large, powerfully fragrant tubular white flowers, is apparently pollinated by [[sphinx moth]]s. Most of the species have large, brightly colored flowers because of this, numerous species and a large number of hybrids and cultivars are cultivated as [[houseplants]]. Some species with particularly large tubers are cultivated by [[cactus]] and [[succulent]] enthusiasts as [[caudiciforms]]. One such example is ''[[Sinningia leucotricha]]'', often listed under the older name ''Rechsteineria leucotricha'' and dubbed "Brazilian edelweiss" for its covering of silvery, silky hairs. Other species with large tubers are ''[[Sinningia iarae]]'', ''[[Sinningia lineata]]'', and ''[[Sinningia macropoda]].''

The Brazilian genera ''[[Paliavana]]'' and ''[[Vanhouttea]]'', consisting of shrubby plants without tubers, are closely related to ''Sinningia'' and recent morphological and molecular analyses (Boggan 1991, Perret et al. 2003) suggest that these genera are, in fact, nontuberous ''Sinningia'' species.  All three genera were included in tribe Gloxinieae in the classification system of [[Hans Wiehler]] but are now recognized in their own tribe, Sinningieae.
 +
 
 +
Numerous genera, including ''Corytholoma'', ''Rechsteineria'' and ''Lietzia'', have been synonymized under ''Sinningia''.
