Geophila is a genus of herbs in the family Rubiaceae.[1][2] This genus is pantropical, as it is found in most tropical regions.[1][3]

The name Geophila was once applied to a genus of mushrooms (defined by Lucien Quélet in 1886 with the modern Stropharia inuncta as type species), but this usage is now obsolete and illegitimate.[4]
