Streptocarpus pusillus inflorescences

    Streptocarpus pusillus inflorescences

    In the photo the drooping Streptocarpus pusillus buds grown in few-flowered inflorescences already have long thin tubes at the corolla bases, as well as long pedicels. The narrow, green sepals are short at the back of every tube. The partly opened bud has its corolla lobes curving in.

    The smaller leaf in picture still has its tip, the bigger one no longer. The glossy, dark green blades have parallel, ascending, lateral veins from the greenish cream midribs. The sunken veins have unevenness that gives the blade a quilt-like appearance (Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
