ABSTRACT:
A new variety of African violets that have been bred from a hybrid formed by crossing Saintpaulia ionantha, the traditional florist's African violet with the high altitude species, Saintpaulia schumensis. The high cost of energy in northern latitudes and the relatively high temperatures required by Saintpaulia ionantha, which grows naturally at the foot of Mount Usamabara in East Africa, have made commercial growing of the violet expensive. By bringing in genes of Saintpaulia schumensis which grows at some 7,000 feet on the same mountain, which temperatures can fall as low as 55 degrees Fahrenheit, a new avenue of growth is opened up for this popular plant.
