Primulina youngfuensis

The Primulina youngfuensis (often also spelled yungfuensis) is a delightful, compact foliage plant and a member of the Gesneriad family, making it a close relative of the African Violet. It is highly valued by houseplant collectors for its unique leaf texture and manageable size. The leaves are its most prized feature, they are distinctly soft and velvety due to a covering of fine, delicate hairs. They often display a beautiful silvery sheen or shimmer, which is an enhancement of the velvety texture.
