This member of the
Gesneriaceae family was given this name by Hans Joachim
Wiehler in 1975. It if found in the heights around Sao Paulo,
growing in a rich but well drained soil with some water and some to
lots of sun. I think the caudex can grow to ten centimetres, maybe
more, and the whole plant into a 40 centimetre high bush. The
flowers are dark orange to red.
The genera is named after
Wilhelm Sinning,1792–1874, a gardener of the Botanische Gärten
der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. The species name means
'magnificent'.
