In the primary forest, rather dark thanks to the giant trees, you won’t find many flowering plants occupying the lower tier of the forest community, especially those blooming with such delicate flowers. Our first meeting is unforgettable, the plant resembles a garden flower: bluish-lilac elongated bells, catching the rays of the sun with pubescent flowers and leaves-dark green, sometimes with a network of light veins and spots. Flower rosettes, with blossoms ranging from almost white to soft lilac and pale blue, are scattered closer to the trunks, between the roots of trees, on a moss carpet. Sometimes, they find support a little higher — right on the trunks covered with moss, in crevices and hollows. The plant is very decorative in almost any season.
When this picture was conceived and completed, the plant belonged to the genus Primulina and had the scientific name Primulina or Chirita annamensis. However, in 2023, experts identified a new genus in the Gesneriaceae family — Langbiangia, endemic to the Langbiang Plateau and named after it. One of the plants included in this genus was the plant in the painting, now with the new name — Langbiangia annamensis.
