Streptocarpus albus
A white-flowered Streptocarpus known only from the Uluguru Mountains of Tanzania, where it grows around 1,700 to 2,150 m in montane forest. Treat it like other Eastern Arc forest Streptocarpus: cool nights, shade, high humidity and a free-draining, never soggy medium. Little is published on this species, so most guidance is drawn from the genus.
