Aeschynanthus copelandii

Aeschynanthus copelandii is a Philippine endemic gesneriad (a lipstick-vine relative), originally described by Merrill and transferred by Schlechter in 1923. There are no georeferenced wild records, so its exact habitat and altitude are unknown. Grow it like other Philippine Aeschynanthus: a warm, humid, bright-shaded epiphyte with a fast-draining mix.
