Sinningia allagophylla
A widespread tuberous Sinningia of the grasslands, campos and cerrado of southern and central Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northeastern Argentina. It sends up upright stems with tiers of narrow leaves and orange-red tubular flowers in summer. It needs strong light, a warm wet growing season and a dry winter dormancy for the tuber.
Where it grows wild
It grows in open grassland, rocky campo and cerrado, often among grasses and on rocky ground. The underground tuber survives dry winters and the fires common in these grasslands.
Records span sea level to about 2100 m, with a median near 935 m. Much of the range lies on the Brazilian highlands and southern plateaus.
