Streptocarpus floribundus

A KwaZulu-Natal Streptocarpus known from very few wild records. Like other species of the region it is assumed to grow on shaded rock faces and banks in forest patches and kloofs, with summer rain and a dry winter, so give it bright shade, a free-draining medium and a drier, cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

Little has been published on this species; KwaZulu-Natal Streptocarpus generally grow on shaded, moist rock faces, boulders and steep banks in forest or ravines, and that is assumed here.

The single usable record was modelled at about 650 m; regional relatives range from near sea level to the midlands.
