I purchased this from Rob's Violets. This is apparently not a species and most likely a hybrid. According to H.E. Moore, African Violets, Gloxinias and Their Relatives (1956), "A further hybrid, the result of a cross between Columnea glabra and C. Schiedeana, was made in England at the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew. It is possible that plants of this parentage are those currently sold under the name Columnea kewensis, a name that has no standing."
