Boea is a genus of plants in the Gesneriaceae (Gesneriads) family, with species originating from Australia, China, India, Malaysia, Birma, Philippines, Polynesia, Solomon Islands, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Boea make good house plants, but also successfully grow in the wild. Some Boea species are known as types of resurrection plant due to their ability to survive desiccation (e.g. B. hygrometrica and B. hygroscopica). * Boea hemsleyana plant * Boea hemsleyana flowers * Boea hemsleyana seedlings
