Sinningia lineata

A tuberous Sinningia from the southern Brazilian highlands of Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, growing at roughly 350 to 950 m. Like its southern relatives it grows through the warm, wet summer and rests on its tuber in the cool winter; give it bright shade, a gritty mix and a cooler, drier winter.
