Metapetrocosmea is a small genus of about ten species of herbaceous plants from the African violet family, native to southern China, Hainan and Vietnam. Their cultivation is poorly documented, so the care notes below are general guidance for small Gesneriaceae of this type.
Metapetrocosmea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. It includes ten species native to southern China, Hainan, and Vietnam.
A 2022 phylogenetic and morphological study by Peng-Wei Li et al. concluded that genus Deinostigma should be included in Metapetrocosmea. In 2016 Deinostigma had been expanded with the transfer of several species that had previously been place in the genus Primulina.
