Mitraria is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Gesneriaceae family, generally growing in the mountainous regions of South America. This genus occurs as deciduous or semi-deciduous shrubs and mostly thrives in moist, cool environments. The characteristic feature of the plant is its bright and vibrantly colored flowers, which make it popular among garden and potted plants.
Mitraria, whose natural habitat is the high parts of the Andes Mountains of South America, has adapted very well to the climatic conditions of these regions. Because it is resistant to cold, it is a plant suitable for cultivation in temperate climate regions. In addition to the visual appeal of its flowers, its leaves also have a decorative appearance, making it valuable in landscaping.
