The genus is native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the world, with most of the species occurring in tropical Africa and southern Asia, but with a few in the tropical Americas and northern Australasia, and a few extending north into the temperate zone in eastern Asia. Common names include glorybower, bagflower and bleeding-heart.
They are shrubs, lianas, and small trees, growing to 1-12 m tall, with opposite or whorled leaves.
