Streptocarpus macropodus

A Malagasy Streptocarpus recorded mostly in the southern central highlands around 1,600–1,700 m, with a few low-elevation records. It suits growers who can give bright shade, mild days, cool winter nights and steady humidity; the shared needs of the genus fill in where species detail is missing.

Where it grows wild

Assumed, from Malagasy Streptocarpus in general, to grow on shaded, mossy rocks, banks and tree bases in humid montane forest and forest edges.

Recorded at 21–1,975 m, but the median is about 1,625 m and most records sit in the highlands.
