Streptocarpus Brachynema

These images are of a plant called Streptocarpus Brachynema. It is a true endemic, only found on Mt Gorongosa. It is listed in the Southern African Red Data List of plants as Endangered. There are more endemics, some very likely still undescribed. When I was on the mountain with the SA botanists we saw several things that appeared new.
