Description
Saintpaulia ionantha Herm. Wendl. published illustration from Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Uncoloured lithograph. This species is a native of Eastern tropical Africa. Baron St. Paul, of Fischbach in Silesia, sent to Hooker an account of the habitat where his son Walter von Saint Paul discovered this species: \...It was found in two localities; one about an hour from Tanga, in wooded places...The second place is in the primeval forest of Usambara...two thousand five hundred feet above the sea...\". The specimen here figured was raised from seed obtained from a continental nurseryman and flowered at Kew in July 1894."
