Streptocarpus glabrifolius

A little-known Malagasy Streptocarpus recorded mainly from the humid forests of south-eastern Madagascar at roughly 750 to 1300 m. Very little is published on its ecology, so treat it like other Malagasy forest Streptocarpus: shaded, constantly humid, mild and never waterlogged.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing specific is published on this species' habitat. Most records cluster in the mid-elevation humid forest of the south-east, where Malagasy Streptocarpus typically grow on mossy rocks, banks and humus pockets under closed or broken canopy, often near streams. This profile generalises from the genus in that setting.

Recorded at 750 to 1300 m, median about 900 m; mild submontane forest rather than lowland heat.
