Peltanthera is a genus of flowering plants containing a single species, Peltanthera floribunda.[2] The genus was originally placed in family Loganiaceae [3] and has since been variously placed in Buddlejaceae,[4] Scrophulariaceae,[5] Gesneriaceae,[6] or in its own family Peltantheraceae.[5] [7] In 2016, it was considered by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group to be unplaced in any family, but within the order Lamiales,[8] while Christenhusz et al. in 2017 placed it in family Gesneriaceae as subfamily Peltantheroideae.[9] The placement in Gesneriaceae was accepted by Plants of the World Online as of March 2024[update] .[2]
The plant is a tree with opposite leaf arrangement.[3] The leaves are large and elliptic in shape. It has white fragrant flowers in a cymose inflorescence with trichotomous branches. The calyx and corolla each have five lobes, and there are five stamens. The two locules of the ovary each contain many seeds.[3]
