Callianthe monteiroi, also known as Callianthe, is a plant species belonging to the family Malpighiaceae, native to the tropical regions of South America.

The plant has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which can be attributed to its rich content of flavonoids, alkaloids, and other bioactive compounds.

Callianthe monteiroi is believed to offer various health benefits, such as reducing fever, treating respiratory issues, and providing antioxidant properties that can help protect against oxidative stress and cell damage.
