{"title":"African Violet \u0026 Episcia","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStreptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia is a section within Streptocarpus subgenus Streptocarpella, consisting of about ten species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa. The section was previously treated as a separate genus, Saintpaulia, but molecular phylogenetic studies showed that it was nested within the genus Streptocarpus. Species and cultivars are commonly called African violets (although they are not closely related to true violets) or saintpaulias. They are commonly sold as house plants. Several of the species and subspecies of the section are endangered, and many more are threatened, as their native cloud forest habitats are cleared for agriculture. The conservation status of Streptocarpus ionanthus has been classed as near threatened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eEpiscia\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eis\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003ea\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003etropical,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003etrailing\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eplant\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eknown\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003efor\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eits\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003evibrant\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003efoliage\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003etubular\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eflowers,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eoften\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003egrown\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eindoors\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003efor\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003eornamental\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gs_tkn show\"\u003epurposes.
