Streptocarpus bambuseti

Streptocarpus bambuseti is a gesneriad endemic to Tanzania's Uluguru Mountains, recorded mostly around 1,900 to 2,000 m, where its name points to montane bamboo and forest zones. It needs cool, shaded, constantly humid conditions with mild days and cool nights. Very little is published on it, so this is built from the measured climate and how montane Streptocarpus behave.
