Sinningia (for Wilhelm Sinning, gardener at the University of Bonn). Including Dolichodeira, Ligeria, and Rosanowia. Gesneriaceae. Tropical herbs with handsome tubular flowers, of glasshouse culture; includes the florists' gloxinia. Pubescent or villous, from a tuberous rhizome: lvs. opposite, usually large, petioled; the floral ones reduced to bracts: fls. usually large, solitary or fascicled in the axils, pedicelled; calyx-tube shortly and broadly turbinate, adnate, 5-angled or 5-winged, the limb foliaceous, broadly 5-cleft or -parted; corolla-tube nearly equal at the base or the posterior gibbous, long or broadly cylindrical, the upper part swollen or bell-shaped; lobes 5, spreading, or the 2 posterior smaller; stamens included, attached to the tube of the corolla; anthers broad, the cells confluent at the apex; glands of the disk 5, distinct, or the 2 posterior more crowded together or connate; ovary half inferior; style dilated at the tip; stigma concave, entire or slightly 2-lobed. —Species 20-25, Brazil. Allied to Gesnera, Isoloma, and Achimenes, and of similar cultural requirements. The genus includes the cult. gloxinia, which is properly Sinningia speciosa, Benth. & Hook., but which is treated in this book under Gloxinia. Other than this species, the sinningias are little known horticulturally, although some of the species have much merit. CH
