Streptocarpus acicularis
A little-known Streptocarpus endemic to Mozambique, known from very few collections. Like its African relatives it most likely grows on shaded, moist rock in gorges or forest patches within a hot, seasonally dry lowland region, so treat it as a warm, shade-loving lithophyte that needs a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
No habitat detail was reachable for this species; the genus in lowland Mozambique typically grows on shaded, seepage-wet rock faces and banks in gorges or riverine forest, which keep far moister and cooler than the open country around them.
The only climate site is a lowland point near 50 m in central Mozambique; the true elevation of the populations is unknown.
