Adenaria

Adenaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lythraceae. They are native to the Americas, ranging from Mexico and the Caribbean south to South America.

These plants are typically shrubs or subshrubs, characterized by their opposite or whorled leaves and tubular flowers. The flowers often exhibit a range of colors, including pink, red, and purple.

Adenaria species are found in various habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and forest edges. They are adapted to a variety of soil types and moisture levels within their geographic range.

Several species of Adenaria are cultivated as ornamentals in gardens and landscapes, valued for their attractive flowers and relatively low maintenance requirements.
