Streptocarpus monophyllus

A single-leaved Streptocarpus from the Angolan highlands, known from very few records. Like other unifoliate species it likely grows on shaded rock during the wet season and may die after flowering, so keep seed going.

Where it grows wild

Little is published; unifoliate African Streptocarpus usually grow on shaded, mossy rock faces, boulders and banks in gorges or forest patches, where moisture lingers into the dry season.

No elevations on record; the two modelled sites sit on the Angolan plateau at about 1300 m and on the escarpment near 2000 m.
