Berghesia coccinea is a shrub in the coffee family, native to Hidalgo, Mexico, and the only species in its genus. It is rarely grown in cultivation, so care advice is based on general knowledge of seasonally dry tropical shrubs.
Berghesia is a monospecific genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It was described by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in 1847. The genus contains only one species, viz. Berghesia coccinea, which is endemic to Mexico.
