Gibasis
Gibasis is a genus of flowering plants within the Commelinaceae family, first described in 1837. It is native to the Western Hemisphere from Texas and the West Indies south to Argentina, with most of the species native to Mexico.
It is closely related to the genus Tradescantia and some of the species used to be classified as tradescantias in the past, for instance Gibasis geniculata as Tradescantia geniculata.
