Gasteranthus is a genus of 35 species of herbs and soft-stemmed subshrubs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The species occur in Central America and South America, from southernmost Mexico to Bolivia. Numerous species are threatened with extinction, mainly due to deforestation. This is due to two reasons: For one thing, Gasteranthus species are native to countries in which destruction of primary forest runs rampant; also, these plants do not distribute well and therefore endemism is very frequent, for example on isolated mountain ranges.

  • Gasteranthus es un género de grandes hierbas y semiarbustos o arbustos en la familia de fanerógamas Gesneriaceae. Comprende 56 especies descritas y de estas, solo 38 aceptadas.​ Hierbas de sitios húmedos y sombríos, con inflorescencias axilares sin brácteas y provistas de pedúnculo largos, flores de corola naranja con espolones notorios; sus hojas, contrario con lo que sucede con otros géneros, presentan los estomasen grups notorios a simple vista. Estas especies se encuentran en Centroamérica, y Suramérica. El género Gasteranthus estuvo anteriormente incluido en Besleria. Los dos géneros se separaron en función de las características de los estomas (agregados en Gasteranthus, dispersos en Besleria) y del fruto ( cápsula carnosa en Gasteranthus, bayas en Besleria).

  • Gasteranthus is a genus of 35 species of herbs and soft-stemmed subshrubs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The species occur in Central America and South America, from southernmost Mexico to Bolivia. Numerous species are threatened with extinction, mainly due to deforestation. This is due to two reasons: For one thing, Gasteranthus species are native to countries in which destruction of primary forest runs rampant; also, these plants do not distribute well and therefore endemism is very frequent, for example on isolated mountain ranges. These plants inhabit tropical forest and cloud forest. They grow in humid, shaded locations at altitudes of up to 1,800 m ASL. The flowers are usually colored in orange hues and often spotted, but background colors also include shades white, yellow and red. They are born in axillary cymes without bracteoles. Gasteranthus was previously included in the closely related genus Besleria. The two genera have been separated on the basis of differences in their stomata (aggregated in Gasteranthus, scattered in Besleria) and fruits (fleshy capsule in Gasteranthus, berry in Besleria). Characteristic are the whitish dots on the leaf undersides caused by aggregations of stomata in Gasteranthus. Two main groups can be distinguished in this genus: one group of species, with white to yellow, bell- or tube-shaped flowers, is probably pollinated mainly by euglossine bees. The other group has bright orange or red (inflated corolla tube with very small opening) flowers and are apparently pollinated mainly by hummingbirds. (en)
