This genus comprises a single species of suckering, evergreen flowering plant found in South America. It features narrow, stiff green leaves and produces trumpet-shaped flowers that range from crimson to pink, which bloom from summer through autumn.

Philesia

Philesia magellanica is an evergreen shrub that can exhibit suckering growth and may occasionally climb. It features upright, sturdy stems that may display a hint of pink in their youth, eventually taking on a more arching form as they mature. The leaves are narrow, dense, and a deep green. During the summer to autumn months, tubular pink flowers with flared openings emerge sporadically. This plant thrives in shaded, mossy, rocky environments and has a tendency to entwine itself around moss-covered trees.
