'''''Gesneria''''' is a [[genus]] of approximately 50 species in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Gesneriaceae]].  Except for two or three odd [[South American]] species, all are native to islands of the [[Caribbean]]. The genus is classified in the tribe Gesnerieae along with the genera ''[[Bellonia]]'', ''[[Pheidonocarpa]]'', and ''[[Rhytidophyllum]]''.  ''Gesneria'' species are usually woody [[shrub]]s or [[subshrub]]s, and (with the closely related ''[[Rhytidophyllum]]'') are unusual in the family in having alternately (rather than decussately) arranged leaves. A complete list of the accepted species and their synonyms can be found in the Smithsonian Institution's World Checklist of Gesneriaceae.
