Staurogyne bicolor
A small herb in the acanthus family, known only from Cameroon, mostly from the Mount Kupe and Bakossi highlands at about 400–1,400 m. Little is published about it beyond the original description. Grow it as you would other Staurogyne of the forest floor: warm, shady, constantly moist and humid.
Where it grows wild
Inferred from the genus and the recorded sites: the shaded floor of wet submontane forest, often near streams and seepages. No habitat notes specific to this species were found.
Recorded at 420–1,368 m, median about 1,000 m, so it lives in warm, wet submontane forest rather than lowland heat.
