Sinningia glazioviana

A tuberous gesneriad known from only a handful of records in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Bocaina uplands on the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo border. Grow it like other Atlantic Forest Sinningia: warm and humid while in leaf in summer, then drier and cooler in winter, when the tuber may rest.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from humid Atlantic Forest uplands of the coastal ranges. Like related Sinningia it probably grows on shaded rocky banks, slopes or forest edges, and stores water in a tuber. This is inferred from the genus, not from species-specific accounts.

The climate sites sit at roughly 900–1,430 m, but few records carry an elevation, so the true range is uncertain.
