Cobananthus
Genus of flowering plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobananthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, with a single species Cobananthus calochlamys.[3] It is a subshrub native to southern Mexico (Chiapas) and Guatemala. It is sometimes included in the genus Alloplectus,[1] but molecular phylogenetic studies suggest that the two genera are not closely related, with Cobananthus more closely related to Alsobia.[4][5]
