Episcia
''Episcia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family, Gesneriaceae. The ten species it contains are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. The species are perennial herbaceous plants characterized by a stoloniferous habit, red (rarely orange, pink, blue or yellow) flowers, and frequently have marked or patterned leaves. Episcias are sometimes called flame violets. Taxonomy The genus name is derived from the Greek επισκισς (''episkios''), meaning "shaded". This refers to the understory habitat of these plants. For much of the twentieth century ''Episcia'' had a broad circumscription but since 1978 has been restricted to a much narrower one, with the genera '' Paradrymonia'', ''Chrysothemis'', ''Nautilocalyx'', and ''Alsobia'' separated from it. The segregation of these genera from ''Episcia'' has been supported in recent molecular phylogenies. Species Section ''Episcia'' * '' Episcia andina'' Wiehler * '' Episcia cupreata'' ...

Episcia Cupreata
''Episcia cupreata'' is a species of perennial plant in the family Gesneriaceae that is found in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Its common name is flame violet, although this name may also refer to other species of the genus ''Episcia''. A number of hybrids have been created. Description The species has short hairy stems and reddish to green stolons (runners). Leaves are oval shaped with hairy blades that vary from either a deep copper, reddish-green, or only green. Specks of copper and purple are found on leaf underside. Its flower corolla lobes are orange-red with yellow tube. Although the plant does produce seeds, it typically reproduces by stolons. Ecology Aphids and mealybugs feed on the plant. It can be subjected to fungal leaf spots, blights on the stem, and rotting roots. The leaves become scorched if they receive too much sunlight, and the plant can die if it receives too much water or too little air. Hybrids The plant was once grown from seeds that were sent t ...
