This member of the
Gesneriaceae family was first described by Hiern in Videnskabelige
Meddelelser fra Dansk Naturhistorisk Forening i Kjøbenhavn
1877-78: 90 in 1877 as Gesneria warmingii. Later, in 1990,
Chautems moved it to the Sinningias. It is from
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil,
Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru, where it is found in a well-drained soil with some water and
some sun. The caudex can grow to five centimetres in diameter, the
stems will reach up to 30 centimetres. The flowers are pale red, and
it can be reproduced both by seeds and cuttings.
The genera is named after
Wilhelm Sinning,1792–1874, a gardener of the Botanische Gärten der
Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. The species name in honour of
Johannes Eugenius Bülow Warming, 1841-1924, a Danish botanist whose
work on the relations between living plants and their surroundings
made him a founder of plant ecology.
