Petrocosmea is a genus of the family Gesneriaceae, the African violet family. Many of the species within this genus are endemic to high-elevation areas in Western China,[1] although some are native to other parts of Asia.[2] including north-central and southern China, Indochina, and the eastern Himalayas.[3] It is a rosette-forming genus that generally grows on wet mossy rocks or forests.[1][2]
The genus was discovered in China by Augustine Henry and was first described in 1887 by Daniel Oliver (Prof. of Botany, University College, London).[2]
