Sinningia douglasii plant
Photo by Alan Lavergne
Grown by Alan Lavergne
S. douglasii was distributed for many years as
S. verticillata. It is a variable plant in both
flower and foliage. While this specimen (and
this one) have distinctly pinkish flowers, some
clones are more yellowish in tone, albeit with
the maroon markings. This is well illustrated
in the 19th century botanical print of "Gesneria
douglasii", which also shows the characteristic
habit of the plant, with successive whorls of
leaves and flowers.
This species naturally grows with its tuber partially exposed above the ground, as illustrated by
this photo. A close-up of a flower shows the patterns in the face and throat.

Blooming
Here is a picture of most of my (the author
of this article) best plant, in May 2007. It
had nine blooming stalks.
11
Blooming season, in spring, is short but intense. A mature tuber can produce a hundred
or more flowers. They open over a relatively short period, so before you know it, the
blooming period is done.
In Habitat
S. douglasii is epiphytic. This terrible picture, from
the 1999 expedition of the Gesneriad Research
Foundation (GRF), attempts to capture S. douglasii
growing on a tree branch. Below it, projecting to the
left, is a bromeliad, and the red smudge to the right
of the S. douglasii stem is an out-of-focus flower of
Nematanthus tessmannii. The poor quality of this
photograph is a result both of my inexperience and
the difficulty of taking a picture up into a brightly lit
sky. Even so, the characteristic whorl-of-six leaf
pattern and the distinctive red midribs and leaf veins
can clearly be seen. This was in April, Brazil autumn,
so that the flowering season of Sinningia douglasii
was long past, and the leaves were starting to turn
yellow in preparation for dropping.
We also saw S. douglasii growing in the furrows of tiled roofs, where enough plant
debris had accumulated to support opportunistic vegetation.
This picture, taken in Brazil by Jim Roberts, shows a
Sinningia douglasii tuber in the angle formed by a broken
(and probably dead) branch. The life expectancy of this
plant is not great; when that branch decays enough to give
way, the tuber will presumably fall to the ground.
Like other tubers observed in habitat, this one is covered by
its own epiphytes, here predominantly mosses. This picture
was taken in January 2009, and thus about three months
earlier in the season than the picture above, taken in April
1999.
