Sinningia eumorpha

A tuberous Brazilian gesneriad from São Paulo and Paraná with velvety leaves and pale tubular flowers, growing on shaded banks and rocks in semideciduous forest. It grows in the warm, wet summer and rests in the drier, cooler winter, so give it bright shade, warmth and water while in leaf, and a drier, cooler rest.

Where it grows wild

Like many Sinningia it grows on shaded earth banks, rock outcrops and forest edges in the interior Atlantic forest. Species-specific habitat detail was not reachable, so this follows the genus.

Recorded at 65–934 m, median about 680 m, on the interior plateau.
