Sinningia sulphurea

A tuberous Sinningia from interior Bahia in north-east Brazil, known from a single locality in hot, seasonally dry country. Grow it like other rock-dwelling Sinningia: bright light, a sharply drained mix, and a dry rest for the tuber when growth stops.

Where it grows wild

Only one locality is recorded, in the semi-arid interior of Bahia. Tuberous Sinningia there usually grow in crevices and pockets of soil on rock outcrops, sheltered by rock or shrubs.

Records lack elevations; the single climate site sits at about 400 m.
