Streptocarpus beampingaratrensis is one of the Streptocarpus from Madagascar that Hilliard and Burtt in the classic work Streptocarpus: An African Plant Study refer to as “saintpaulia-like”. Indeed the habit of S. beampingaratrensis and S. andohahelensis along with the leaves with a long petiole suggest Saintpaulia much more than either of the traditional caulescent or acaulescent Streptocarpus. In the revision of the genus proposed by Nishii et al in 2015 the Saintpaulia group was moved into Streptocarpus as a Section after genetic studies confirmed the group’s close relationship to Streptocarpus – just as Hilliard and Burtt surmised.
