'''''Boea''''' is a [[genus]] of plants in the [[Gesneriaceae]] (Gesneriads) family, with species originating from [[Australia]], [[China]], [[India]], [[Malaysia]], [[Birma]], [[Philippines]], [[Polynesia]], [[Solomon Islands]], [[Thailand]], [[Papua New Guinea]], [[Indonesia]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]], [[Cambodia]], [[Vietnam]] and [[Laos]] <ref>Skog, L.E. & J.K. Boggan. 2007. World Checklist of Gesneriaceae. Washington, DC: Dept. of Botany, Smithsonian Institution. http://botany.si.edu/Gesneriaceae/Checklist </ref>. They make good house plants(see main image), but also successfully grow in the wild.


For example, Boea hygroscopica, also known as the Rock Violet in Australia, occurs in Cape York Peninsula and Northeast Queensland as far south as Rockhampton, within an altitudide range from 60-900 metres. It grows along creek beds, on moist banks, moss-covered rocks in rainforest, open forest, vine forest and gallery forest. <ref>Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants fact sheet, http://keys.trin.org.au/key-server/data/0e0f0504-0103-430d-8004-060d07080d04/media/Html/taxon/Boea_hygroscopica.htm</ref>

Boea is a genus of plants in the Gesneriaceae (Gesneriads) family, with species originating from Australia, China, India, Malaysia, Birma, Philippines, Polynesia, Solomon Islands, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos [1]. They make good house plants(see main image), but also successfully grow in the wild.

For example, Boea hygroscopica, also known as the Rock Violet in Australia, occurs in Cape York Peninsula and Northeast Queensland as far south as Rockhampton, within an altitudide range from 60-900 metres. It grows along creek beds, on moist banks, moss-covered rocks in rainforest, open forest, vine forest and gallery forest. [2]

Some Boea species are known as types of resurrection plant due to their ability to survive dessication (e.g. Boea hygrometrica and Boea hygroscopica) [3] [4].


Species

The Smithsonian lists the following Boea species [5].

Boea clarkeana Boea dennisii Boea esquirolii
Boea geoffrayi Boea hemsleyana Boea hians
Boea hygrometrica Boea hygroscopica Boea kinnearii
Boea lawesii Boea magellanica Boea mollis
Boea philippensis Boea rosselensis Boea urvillei
Boea wallichii

The Smithsonian also lists[6]:

  • Kaisupeea herbacea with the basionym: Boea herbacea
  • Leptoboea multiflora with the previous synonym Boea multiflora
