Aeschynanthus angustioblongus

Aeschynanthus angustioblongus is a lipstick-vine from Yunnan and the eastern Himalaya, described by W.T. Wang in 1975. Its sites have a monsoon climate with a dry, cool winter, so it wants a cooler, drier rest than lowland lipstick plants.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte on trees or mossy rocks in subtropical broadleaf forest, as is usual in the genus. No species-level habitat notes were reachable.

No record gives an elevation. The weighted climate sites are at about 630–1,600 m, mostly 1,600 m in northwest Yunnan.
