Gesneriaceae, the gesneriad family,[3][4] is a family of flowering plants consisting of about 152 genera and ca. 3,540 species[5] in the tropics and subtropics of the Old World (almost all Didymocarpoideae) and the New World (most Gesnerioideae), with a very small number extending to temperate areas. Many species have colorful and showy flowers and are cultivated as ornamental plants.
