Streptocarpus afroviola, synonym Saintpaulia pusilla, is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania.

[2] The former genus Saintpaulia was reduced to Streptocarpus sect.

However, the name Streptocarpus pusillus had been used in 1883 for a different species, so Maarten J. M. Christenhusz put forward the replacement name Streptocarpus afroviola.

[4] Streptocarpus afroviola is known from four mountain ranges in Tanzania: the Uluguru, Ukaguru, Nguru and Udzungwa mountains, although it has only been found in a single site on each of the Ukaguru and Nguru Mountains.

It grows on shady rockfaces and moss-covered rocks in montane rainforest at elevations of 1,300–1,750 m (4,270–5,740 ft).
