A member of the Gesneriaceae (a relative of the African Violet). This is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with a basal rosette of deeply rugose, toothed and felted leaves from which arises a very short stem with one or two very large, inflated “snapdragon-like” flowers of cream flushed pink with masses of darker spots within. A striking plant for a container, terrarium or shaded rockery (in a mild climate). I am pretty sure this is the first introduction of this species into cultivation. It was found growing with beech, rhododendrons, magnolias, etc. so should have some hardiness.
