Metarungia is a small Afrotropical genus in the family Acanthaceae of dicotyledonous flowering plants.[1] They have large, colourful corollas, and are morphologically similar to Anisotes,[2] which is also assumed to be bird-pollinated. They differ mainly in the dehiscence of the fruit capsule, and details of the placenta.[2]
