Aeschynanthus curtisii

Aeschynanthus curtisii is a Bornean lipstick-vine gesneriad described by C.B. Clarke in 1883. Wild records come mostly from lowland Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan, so it wants steady warmth and high humidity all year.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes for this species were reachable. Like most Aeschynanthus it is almost certainly an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid forest; this is generalised from the genus.

Four records give an elevation, from 10 to 1125 m with a median of 25 m. The weighted climate sites sit at 10–217 m.
