Sinningia mauroana

A tuberous Sinningia of Brazil's Atlantic Forest in São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro, mostly recorded at 600–900 m. Like its relatives it is likely to grow on shaded wet rock or forest banks, with a cooler, drier winter in which growth slows and the tuber can rest.
