Sonerila anaimudica

A small Western Ghats Sonerila named after Anamudi, the highest peak in south India, where it grows in cool, misty montane forest. Treat it as a cool-to-intermediate terrarium herb that wants constant moisture, shade and very humid air rather than the hot lowland conditions the measured site suggests.

Where it grows wild

Known only from the high Anamudi massif in Kerala; like other montane Sonerila it most likely grows on moist, shaded banks, mossy rocks and the floor of evergreen shola forest. Little is published beyond the original description.

Probably high montane, roughly 1,800–2,400 m on the Anamudi massif; no measured record carries an elevation.
