Justicia: A Plant Genus That Fascinates

I’m Ferb Vu, and I’ve always been drawn to the diversity and beauty of the natural world, particularly the plant kingdom. One genus that has captured my attention is Justicia, a fascinating group with a wide array of species, each boasting unique characteristics.

Justicia is the largest genus in the Acanthaceae family, encompassing almost 913 accepted species. These plants are predominantly found in tropical and warm temperate regions across the Americas, India, and Africa. They are known for their vibrant flowers, which come in a spectrum of colors, and their ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.
