The genus is native to Central and western South America, from Mexico south to Peru and Chile. At least two species are native to South Africa.[1] Alonsoas grow to around 30–100 cm tall, and have small, broadly oval, serrated leaves. The red, orange, yellow, white or occasionally blue flowers are borne on a loose terminal raceme.

The alonsoa is named for Zenón de Alonso Acosta, a Spanish official in Bogota.[2][3]
