Streptocarpus kimbozanus
A narrow Tanzanian endemic gesneriad recorded only from a small lowland area in the Uluguru foothills, around 220–550 m. Little is published on it, so this profile leans on the measured climate and on how lowland East African Streptocarpus grow: shaded, humid forest rocks and banks with a warm, wet year and a short drier spell.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from lowland forest in the foothills east of the Uluguru Mountains, an area known for forest on limestone outcrops. Related lowland species grow on shaded rock faces, boulders and steep banks under closed canopy, and this one is presumed to do the same.
Seven wild records span 220–550 m, median 300 m; this is warm lowland forest, not the cool montane habitat of many Streptocarpus.
