This was grown from seed acquired from Mauro Peixoto's Brazil Plants operation. The seed was sown in 2012. After 3 years of neglect, it bloomed in September 2015. The most noteworthy characteristic of this species is the stickiness of the leaves and stems. In this they resemble Sinningia amambayensis and a few related species. |

The flower tube has spots gathered into lines. |

Horticultural aspects |
|
| From seed | Four years to bloom, under my far from ideal conditions |
| Hardiness | Yet to be determined. As of 2015, it had not spent a winter outdoors. |
| Recommended? | No. The floppy habit, sticky stems are not pluses. The flowers are attractive, but mimic (e.g.) S. bragae (sp. "Ibitioca"). My plant bloomed once and then died. |
Botany |
