Sinningia curtiflora

A tuberous gesneriad of the southern Brazilian Atlantic forest, recorded mostly in Santa Catarina and Paraná between a few hundred and about 1,000 m. Grow it like other shade-loving Atlantic-forest Sinningia: bright shade, humid air, warm summers and cool, slightly drier winters when the tuber may slow down or partly die back.

Where it grows wild

Recorded in humid Atlantic forest of the southern Brazilian coastal ranges; like its relatives it most likely grows on shaded, moist banks and rocky slopes rather than in open ground. Little species-specific habitat detail is published.

Records span 8–1,000 m with a median of 736 m, so most plants sit in lower montane forest.
