Description

Geogenanthus poeppigii, commonly called the seersucker plant, is a flowering plant species in the family Commelinaceae (the dayflower & spiderwort family). As currently circumscribed, the genus Geogenanthus includes two other species, G. ciliatus and G. rhizanthus. This species is named after E.F. Poeppig, 19th century German explorer. Geogenanthus undatus is an outdated synonym for G. poeppigii. For more details on the rather complicated synonmy for this species, see Faden (1981).
