Gloxinia from my home garden: Gloxinia of Gesneriaceae a new fond acquisition at my garden in Pune. A small succulent herb 15-20 cm tall; leaves radical, 10-12 cm, ovate-oblong, dentate, succulent. Flowers 5-6 cm on a stout peduncle.


Beautiful flower. Is it possible to grow this plant in Mumbai climate ?


Nice picture sir. Does it have any fragrance?


all flowers have a scent however faint when they first open, you know that of course..
no gloxinias’s “scent” does not last even a few minutes…
gloxinias are so highly hybridized that the end result looks good but does not send out scent..
like the tea roses…


Sinningia speciosa was introduced as a house plant popularly known as Gloxinia, the original plant hailing from south America. This tuberous herb with inodorous flowers can be grown in moist shady places even in
Mumbai.


I have had good experiences with Gloxinia perrenis which used to give smell at particular time, almost twice a day it was on peak otherwise it was faintly scented. Infact the person in whose garden I saw it for
the first time, never really smelled it. We call such persons bad rooster!!!! hehehehe…
Bad Rooster is the one who wakes up late and goes to bed early :P….
but never misses to shout during the day time :))

i think this is African violet.


i don’t have more / new information. i feel it is Gloxinie (Sinningia), I have seen this plant with many diff colors. My plant has lila flowers, the fotos i have sent already.
perhaps this helps, now in english
This is undoubtedly a Gesneriaceae member. First one seems like a very  young plant of Gloxinia perrenis. It sud have a very pleasant colgate
kind of smell, just to confirm you can check. Smell in early morning till 8am. It should also have a perrenating creeping rhizome like underground stem. Second one is another unknown species of Gloxinia to me….


It appears close to images at Sinningia speciosa Hiern 
I also checked in net & these appear to match.


yes sinningia-speciosa. very popular indoor plant, because it has many colors and is easy to keep.
