Streptocarpus
Streptocarpus ("twisted fruit" from Greek στρεπτός (streptos) "twisted" and καρπός (karpos) "fruit")is an Afrotropical genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. The genus is native to Afromontane biotopes from central, eastern and southern Africa, including Madagascar and the Comoro Islands.The flowers are five-petalled, salverform tubes, almost orchid-like in appearance, and hover or arch over the plant, while the pointed, elongate fruit is of a helical form similar to that of the "tusk" of a narwhal. In the wild, species can be found growing on shaded rocky hillsides or cliffs, on the ground, in rock crevices, and almost anywhere the seed can germinate and grow. For the home, there are now many hybrids of various colours and forms available.

Two new species of Oreocharis(Gesneriaceae) from Fan Si Pan, the highest mountain in Vietnam
Wen Hong Chen, Quang Hieu Nguyen, Run Zheng Chen, Tien Hiep Nguyen, Sinh KhangNguyen, Van Tap Nguyen, Michael Möller, David J. Middleton, Yu-Min ShuiAbstract
Two new species of Oreocharis Benth. from Fan Si Pan, the highest mountain in Vietnam (Sa Pa) are described and illustrated. Oreocharis grandiflora W.H.Chen, Q.H.Nguyen & Y.M.Shui, is similar to O. flavida Merr. from Hainan province, China, but differs mainly by its larger and infundibuliform corolla, stamens adnate to the base of the corolla tube and stamens coherent in two pairs. The second, Oreocharis longituba W.H.Chen, Q.H.Nguyen & Y.M.Shui, is similar to O. hirsuta Barnett, endemic to northern Thailand, but mainly differs in its pubescence, coherent stamens and glabrous filaments.

🟢Oreocharis hisuta
Oreocharis hirsuta is a rare flowering plant species in the gesneriad family (Gesneriaceae), native and endemic to northern Thailand. It was first collected in November 1930 at Doi Nang Ka in Chiang Rai province and officially described by E.C. Barney
Key Characteristics & Ecology
- Habitat: This plant typically grows as a stemless, herbaceous perennial with leaves crowded at the base of a short rootstock.
- Appearance: It features elliptic or ovate, grayish-green leaves that are covered in tawny, multicellular hirsute hairs. It produces yellow, tubular or funnel-shaped flowers.
- Distinguishing Features: Unlike similar related species in the region, O. hirsuta has obtuse-to-rounded leaf bases, hirsute hairs, subequal corolla lips, and anthers that are free rather than coherent.
- Similar Relatives: It shares morphological similarities with other Southeast Asian and Chinese species like O. aurea and O. tsaii, and has related species in Vietnam (such as O. longituba).
