Shuaria is a genus of arborescent flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. The genus is represented by just one species, Shuaria ecuadorica D.A.Neill & J.L.Clark, endemic to Ecuador. The generic name refers to the Shuar indigenous group of Amazonian Ecuador where several collections were made from the forests owned by the Shuar communities. Furthermore, the known range of S.ecuadorica corresponds quite closely to the ancestral Shuar territory in Pastaza, Morona-Santiago, and Zamora-Chinchipe provinces.
