Sinningia guttata

A tuberous gesneriad from the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro state, named for its spotted flowers. Grow it like other forest Sinningia: warm, bright but shaded, evenly moist in the growing season, and drier while the tuber rests in the cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Records come from the forested hills around Rio de Janeiro and the Serra do Mar; most Sinningia of this region grow from tubers on shaded banks, rocks and forest edges.

Elevations are not recorded; the climate sites sit at about 150 and 950 m.
