This member of the
Gesneriaceae family was given this name by John Lindley in
1827. It is found in south-eastern Brazil, growing in a rich soil with plenty of
water and some sum to lots of sun. I think the caudex can grow to
eight centimetres, and the whole plant can grow to 40 centimetres.
The flowers are white with plenty of maroon small spots.
The genera is named after Wilhelm
Sinning,1792–1874, a gardener of the Botanische Gärten der
Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. The species name means spotted. |
