Streptocarpus euanthus

A little-documented Streptocarpus known from a handful of records at about 2,280 m in the mountains of eastern Tanzania. Treat it as a cool montane forest gesneriad: shade, steady moisture, buoyant humid air and cool nights all year.

Where it grows wild

Records point to montane forest in the Eastern Arc mountains of Tanzania; by analogy with related East African Streptocarpus it most likely grows on shaded mossy rocks, banks and tree bases under forest cover.

All four records sit at about 2,280 m, so it is a cool high-montane plant; the actual elevation span is unknown.
