Petrocosmea rosettifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae. A new species Petrocosmea cryptica J.M.H.Shaw was described in 2011, long known in cultivation but mistakenly identified as P. rosettifolia.[1]

The petioles of this species are puberulent and grow to approximately 4 cm. The leaves are sparsely pubescent, and have a broadly ovate to orbicular or broadly elliptic shape. They grow to about 0.5 to 4.0 cm x 0.4 to 0.3 cm.[2]
