*Sonerila* cf. *pulchella* is a small Melastomataceae understory species. It produces narrow, ovate leaves with a bright green surface and distinct pale venation branching from the midrib. Under diffuse light the foliage shows a noticeable iridescent green sheen. Stems are thin and lightly pubescent, forming a compact plant that remains small and is well suited to terrariums or other consistently humid growing environments.
