Barleria oenotheroides, sometimes called giant yellow shrimp or simply yellow barleria, is a species of subshrub native both to the Americas and Africa. It belongs to the mostly tropical family Acanthaceae.
With populations in both the American and African tropics, Barleria oenotheroides displays a strikingly disjunct distribution. In the Americas the species is native to Mexico south through Central America into Columbia and Venezuela in northern South America. In Africa it occurs in the western equatorial countries of Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Central African Republic.
