A species from northeastern Peru with large white flowers, light green in the center and nicely fragrant. Foliage is glossy, deep green and petiolate. An easy species to grow, blooming often twice each year summer and winter.

We don't have much information about this species. Barberton is the area in South Africa where this particular variety was originally collected. The plant has thin fleshy strap-like leaves covered in purple spots and splotches. The small lavender flowers are borne on spikes as long as the foliage. This one has kept its leaves throughout the winter. This species resembles a miniature Manfreda when not blooming.

An interesting and somewhat obscure member of the Melastomataceae that contains many much more familiar species. This species is an epiphyte that lives in the moist to wet tropical forests of Indonesia, our specimen originating in Borneo. A compact shrub-like plant that superficially resembles Hydnophytum, but without the caudex base. The foliage is borne on slender branches, oblong leathery leaves that are lime green. The flowers are borne in clusters along the mature branches and are quite tiny and white followed by clusters of small pea sized orange fruit. The flowers and fruits can appear at any time of year and are usually present.

Our plants originated from seed that we obtained at the Flecker Botanic Gardens in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The aff. in the name indicates that this plant has not been fully identifies as being the true species succulenta. This species is variable and others that have seen our plant have little doubt that the plant is indeed succulenta, though due to its source we are keeping the aff. in the name.
