Exhibited at the 2017 convention of the Gesneriad Society.

This plant was known as Sinningia sp. “Ibitioca” (from its collection location) for many years, until it was officially published.  It is closely related to Sinningia aghensis, with which it shares the campanulate (bell-shaped) flowers and tall flower stalk holding the flowers well above the foliage. This plant is known from only one location in Brazil, a granite quarry, which is rapidly eroding the available habitat.
