Callisia
Callisia is a genus of flowering plants in the spiderwort family, Commelinaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as Roselings. It is native to the Western Hemisphere from the southern United States to Argentina. The generic name is derived from the Greek word καλλον (kallos), meaning "beauty."
Some of the Callisia family may cause allergic reactions in pets (especially cats and dogs), characterised by red, itchy skin. Notable culprits are C. fragrans (Inch Plant) and C. repens (Turtle Vine).
