Differs from Streptocarpus in having a short corolla-tube and a broadly campanulate fl., no disk, and very minor characters. Boeas are perennial herbs with ovate or oblique Lvs. radical or opposite on a very short st.: peduncles axillary or elongated leafless scapes, the fls. small or medium in size, blue.—Species 16-20 in E. Asia and to Austral, and Seychelles. B. Clarkeàna, Hemsl., from China, has been offered in the trade: Lvs. radical, roundish, strongly crenate, petioled, bronze- green above and maroon-red beneath: fls. 3-4 on each peduncle, clear azure-blue with a whitish spot.
