	Wild African Violets - Main page
		Saintpaulia is predominantly an upland genus, most of the taxa occurring in the submontane and montane forests of the Eastern Arc Mountains, a range of mountains starting from the Taita Hills in southern Kenya and ending in the Uzungwa Mountains in Tanzania (Eastwood et al.
		Saintpaulia is said to be a 'pollen flower', attracting pollen collecting insects with its bright yellow anthers, which may also attract insects by deceit after the pollen has been shed (Richards 1997).
		Formulation of a sound conservation strategy for Saintpaulia is difficult because of the problems in the taxonomic delimitation of the species, lack of field surveys and lack of knowledge of the ecology and population genetics of the species (Eastwood et al.

	Saintpaulia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saintpaulia is a genus of 20 species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa, with a concentration of species in the Nguru mountains of Tanzania.
		Saintpaulias can be propagated by leaf cuttings (essential for propagating named cultivars) or seed (from which new cultivars are selected).
		Saintpaulias should be watered from underneath, and misting should be avoided, as water coming in contact with the leaves can cause damage.

	Saintpaulia Article by Jeff Smith
		Recent DNA analysis suggests that Saintpaulia is not closely related to any of the genera that are similar to it in morphology, but is instead a close relative to subgenus Streptocarpella, of the genus Streptocarpus.
		Members of the genus Saintpaulia are characterized by peduncles that arise from the crown or from the leaf-axils along the stem.
		The plant known as 'Saintpaulia Robertson' is the newest taxa to become available in the United States.

	African Rainforest Conservancy: Articles - The African Violet Saintpaulia around Kambai
		Saintpaulia have been found growing in the nobbled trunks of the globally threatened cycad plant Encepharlatus hildebrantii and in the crooked branches of Pandanus palms.
		While it is known that different species of Saintpaulia may be found in the same location, hybridisation is common and besides confusingbotanists, this promiscuity is seen as a threat to critically endangered species such as the highly isolated S. tongwensis, limited to only four known sites in a few square kilometres of forest.
		The growth habit of Saintpaulia is typically precarious, where only a very superficial root system attaches the plant to its surface, and the soft, fleshy vegetation is easily damaged; there maybe some threat from unmonitored human curiosity and 'tourism'.

	African Violet (Green Pages) [Montréal Botanical Garden]
		It was discovered by Baron Walter Von Saint-Paul in 1892 and, upon its introduction in Europe, was baptized Saintpaulia ionantha.
		The genus Saintpaulia was named after its discoverer and the species name, ionantha, is Greek, meaning "having flowers like the violet's".
		Because of its small size, the ease with which it blooms in the home and the wide variety of cultivars and hybrids available, the African violet has long been one of the most popular flowering house plants.

	About Saintpaulia Vintners
		Saintpaulia Vintners was built in 1993 on land adjacent to an 80,000 square foot commercial greenhouse known as Shinoda Floral, Inc. The winery's name was taken from the botanical name for African violets, Saintpaulia, which was the floral's specialty from 1970 to 2002.
		Saintpaulia's 1995 Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon was released in Fall 1999, and the winery's 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon was released in Fall 2000.
		To insure the continued success of its mission, Saintpaulia entered into a venture with Blackwood Canyon Vineyards and Cellars to plant 12 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes on land "to die for" on Red Mountain.

		However, the African violet, known scientifically as Saintpaulia ionantha, is also one of the world’s most endangered plant species.
		Tissue culture is a method whereby plants can be grown ex situ (away from their habitat) and be protected from contamination from pests and diseases.
		Very little is known about the state of Saintpaulia in the wild, and some AVCF funds have been used to help support monitoring research on the wild populations in Tanzania and Kenya.

	Saintpaulia – 5S-NTS nrDNA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Summary of results: The species of the genus Saintpaulia, also known as African violets, are restricted to the Eastern Arc Mountains and the coastal lowlands of East Africa.
		Previous phylogenetic analysis of Saintpaulia based on nrDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) showed species within Saintpaulia to be poorly distinguished at the molecular level.
		For this study the phylogeny, biogeography, and conservation prioritization of Saintpaulia was investigated based on new field collections and cladistic analyses of nucleotide sequences from the 5S nuclear ribosomal DNA non-transcribed spacer (5S-NTS).
