Sinningia araneosa

A tuberous gesneriad from interior São Paulo state in southeast Brazil, known from very few records. Like its tuberous relatives it grows through the hot wet summer and dies back to the tuber over the dry winter, so the dry rest is the key to keeping it.

Where it grows wild

The single wild record sits in the seasonally dry interior of São Paulo, a landscape of semideciduous forest remnants and rocky outcrops. Habitat details for this species are not well documented; this profile assumes the rock-crevice or forest-edge niche typical of tuberous Sinningia.

The recorded site lies at about 670 m; no other elevations are known.
