Congea is a small genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae.
It contains climbing plants native to Southeast Asia that are rarely seen in cultivation outside the tropics. One species, Congea tomentosa, is occasionally grown in large greenhouses, but this is mainly restricted to conservatories on large estates or botanic gardens.
