Aeschynanthus crassifolius

Aeschynanthus crassifolius is a Philippine lipstick vine, described by Elmer and transferred by Schlechter in 1923; the name refers to its thick, fleshy leaves. It is recorded from Luzon, Negros, Samar and Mindanao at warm lowland-type sites. Its succulent leaves suggest it tolerates a brighter position and slightly drier roots than most species in the genus.
