I grew this species from seed, keeping it indoors for a few years. It flowered at least two years. Then one year it did not come back.
The growth pattern and flowers are similar to Sinningia araneosa, but the latter is more compact.
Chautems, 1991.
Etymology: valsuga (?) + -ensis ("resident of").
See information on the valsuganensis page of Mauro Peixoto's web site.
