Neomortonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.[1] It just contains one species, Neomortonia rosea Wiehler [2]
Its native range is Costa Rica to Ecuador. It is also found in Colombia and Panama.[2]
The genus name of Neomortonia is in honour of Conrad Vernon Morton (1905–1972), an American botanist who did notable writings on Ferns. He was also a specialist in Gesneriaceae and Solanaceae for the Smithsonian Institution from 1928.[3] The Latin specific epithet of rosea refers to being rose-like.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Selbyana Vol.1 on page 17 in 1975.[2]
