Schaueria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae. They are endemic to Brazil , from Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul. They are characterized by small elongated white or yellow flowers and narrow to thread-like green or yellow bracts. They are found mainly in rain forests, semi-deciduous mountain forests, and restingas. They are pollinated by bees and hummingbirds.[1]

The genus was established by the German naturalist Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in 1838.[2] It is considered monophyletic and includes fourteen species:[1][3]

  • Schaueria litoralis (Vell.) A.L.A.Côrtes
(syn. Schaueria lophura)
