Dorcoceras is a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae, native to Assam, Southeast Asia, China and central Malesia. Its species were transferred from the genus Boea in 2016.[2]
D. hygrometrica is considered a resurrection plant and its genome has been sequenced to study desiccation tolerance.[3]
