Alloplectus is a genus of Neotropical plants in the family Gesneriaceae. A 2005 revision of the genus included five species, with the majority of species in the genus as traditionally circumscribed being transferred to Crantzia, Glossoloma, and Drymonia.[2] Plants of the World Online currently accepts seven species.[1]
