A very nice and easy to grow species of Diastema from Panama. Unfortunately, identification has to wait until someone flowers it. This seems to be a common problem with gesneriads. Many are easy to grow, but not that easy to flower. In this case, the beautiful bumpy textured hairy leaves and the mahogany-colored new leaves, make it a pleasure to grow even if it doesn’t flower.
