Aeschynanthus amoenus

Aeschynanthus amoenus is a Javan lipstick-vine described by C.B. Clarke in 1883 and known from very few records. Little has been published beyond the original description, so these conditions come from the genus and Javan forest climate.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in humid Javan forest, like most Aeschynanthus. No species-specific habitat notes were reachable.

Neither of the two records has an elevation. Javan Aeschynanthus range from lowland to montane forest, so its altitude is unknown.
