I have never grown this species.
The pictures on this page were taken on 22 September 2008, of a plant in the greenhouses of the Geneva Botanic Garden, in Geneva, Switzerland. The flower picture suffers from the flash, but displays the dots in the throat of the corolla. The picture of the whole plant, below, shows that it looks something like a cross between Sinningia concinna and Petrocosmea flaccida.
It is one of the parents (the other is S. hirsuta) of the hybrid S. 'Amizade'. See the photo of S. 'Amizade' on the Gesneriad Society's web site. The plant was grown by Gary Dunlap.
