Aeschynanthus acuminatissimus

Aeschynanthus acuminatissimus is a lipstick-vine gesneriad from southern Yunnan and nearby Vietnam, described by W.T. Wang in 1975. It comes from subtropical montane forest with a cool, dry winter, so it wants cooler nights than the common lowland lipstick plants.

Where it grows wild

Like most Aeschynanthus it is almost certainly an epiphyte, growing on mossy trunks and branches (occasionally rocks) in humid subtropical broadleaf forest. Species-level habitat notes were not reachable, so this is generalised from the genus.

Few records give an elevation. The weighted climate sites are at about 850–1650 m, mostly around 1450–1500 m in southeastern Yunnan.
