Streptocarpus campanulatus

A little-documented Malagasy Streptocarpus recorded mostly in the humid southeast around Andohahela and the central highlands, at roughly 400 to 1,500 m. Like its relatives it wants bright shade, constantly humid air, mild days and a clear cool-season night drop rather than heat.

Where it grows wild

Specific habitat notes are scarce; Malagasy Streptocarpus typically grow on mossy rocks, banks and tree bases in humid evergreen forest, often near streams. This profile generalises from that pattern.

Records span 112 to 2,400 m with a median near 1,000 m; most sites fall between 400 and 1,600 m.
