Shuaria is a genus of arborescent flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.[2] The genus is solely represented by Shuaria ecuadorica D.A.Neill & J.L.Clark, endemic to Ecuador.[2] The generic name refers to the Shuar indigenous group of Amazonian Ecuador where several collections were made from the forests owned by the Shuar communities.[1]: 671 Furthermore, the known range of S.ecuadorica corresponds quite closely to the ancestral Shuar territory in Pastaza, Morona-Santiago, and Chinchipe provinces.[1]: 671
