The African Violet,
scientifically known as Saintpaulia ionantha, belongs to the gesneriad family which contains over 2,500 species of plants. The African violet is probably the most popular and best known member. Many gesneriads grow well under the same household conditions we enjoy. You can grow other gesneriads like Streptocarpuses and Primulinas, along side your violets.
