'''''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]].
