- Alloplectus — A genus of plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to the neotropical regions of Central and South America, particularly in humid, high-altitude forested areas. It comprises small shrubs, vines, or epiphytic plants, recognized by their opposite, often velvety leaves, and tubular flowers protected by large, intensely colored bracts in shades of red, yellow, or orange, occasionally cultivated by collectors in warm greenhouses.
