Morsacanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Acanthaceae.[1] The only species is Morsacanthus nemoralis Rizzini.[2]
It is native to southern Brazil.[2]
The genus name of Morsacanthus is in honour of Walter Baptist Mors (1920–2008), a Brazilian chemist who researched useful plants.[3] The Latin specific epithet of nemoralis means coming from the forest.[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Revista Brasil. Biol. Vol.12 on page 261 in 1952.[2]
