Streptocarpus ulugurensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial endemic to the Uluguru Mountains of Tanzania.[2]
Streptocarpus ulugurensis is known from a single location of only five square meters on the eastern slope of the northern Uluguru Mountains. It grows on a steep mossy bank with ferns and mosses between rocks and tree roots, in the deep shade of submontane forest at 750 metres elevation.[1]
It was first described in 2009 as Saintpaulia ulugurensis.[3] The former genus Saintpaulia was reduced to Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia in 2015, and the species moved to Streptocarpus.[4]
