Sinningia lindleyi

A tuberous gesneriad from the Atlantic Forest around Rio de Janeiro, with upright leafy stems and tubular flowers. It grows in the warm wet summer and dies back to its tuber in the drier winter, a cycle growers should copy.

Where it grows wild

Grows on rocky slopes, forest edges and in light forest on granite hills near the coast, the tuber often sitting among rocks and leaf litter. These details are generalised from related Sinningia of the Rio region.

Recorded around 465 m in the Tijuca massif; probably found from near sea level to mid elevations.
