Niphaea (Greek, niphos, snow; alluding to the white color of the fls., which is not usual in this family). Gesneracese. Tropical American stemless or dwarf soft- villous herbs, with cordate, coarsely serrate Lvs. and clusters of about a dozen fls. an inch or so across, borne singly on reddish stalks. For general cult, they are inferior to gloxinia and achimenes, but they are desirable for botanical collections. They have a creeping root, and no tubers: Lvs. wrinkled, petiolate, opposite: corolla nearly wheel-shaped; disk absent; stamens 4 or 5; filaments short, straight; anthers erect, free, the cells facing inward, parallel, confluent at the apex.—Species 2, Guatemala and Cuba.
