Thanks to everybody for your appreciation of the beauty of the plant. Sinningia speciosa was introduced as a house plant popularly known as Gloxinia, the original plant hailing from south America. This tuberous herb with inodorous flowers can be grown in moist shady places even in Mumbai. Regards, Shrikant
