Petrocosmea is a genus of the family Gesneriaceae, the African violet family. Many of the species within this genus are endemic to high-elevation areas in Western China,[2] although some are native to other parts of Asia.[3] including north-central and southern China, Indochina, and the eastern Himalayas.[1] It is a rosette-forming genus that generally grows on wet mossy rocks or forests.[2][3]

The genus was discovered in China by Augustine Henry and was first described in 1887 by Daniel Oliver (Prof. of Botany, University College, London).[3]
