Re: streptocarpella

     streptocarpella has been considered a section of the genus 
     streptocarpus for a long time, however, recent studies have found out 
     that streptocarpella is actually more closely related to saintpaulia 
     than either is to streptocarpus!  what it means is that in the future, 
     they will definitely take streptocarpella out of the streptocarpus 
     genus, or alternatively, all three will be under one genus (albeit 
     unlikely).  i learned all of this in the discussions that have 
     happened in the gesneriphile forum.
     
     as for culture, i understand that streptocarpella likes to be drier, 
     sunnier and cooler than AVs.  a friend told me that they bloom in her 
     north window, although mine hasn't bloomed in my north window, even 
     though next to it is a streptocarpus in bloom right now.
