12; see text Diplolegnon Rusby (1900) Corytoplectus is a genus in the plant family Gesneriaceae.

Plants from Corytoplectus are found in Bolivia, Brazil North, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, southwestern Mexico, Peru, Venezuela,[1] in the cloud-forests of the high cordillera.

[1] The genus differs from the closely related Alloplectus in having an erect umbellate inflorescence and berries.

[4] The fruit is a translucent berry with dark striate (with parallel longitudinal ridges or lines) seeds.

[4] According to Rodriques-Flores and Skog,[4] Corytoplectus derives from the Latin coryto (leather pouch) and plectus (pleated or folded).
