Aeschynanthus dempoensis

Aeschynanthus dempoensis is a Sumatran lipstick-vine gesneriad described by Spencer Moore in 1925. Its name points to Mount Dempo, a volcano in southern Sumatra, and no wild GBIF records exist, so its conditions are uncertain; intermediate, humid conditions are the safe starting point.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were reachable. The epithet suggests it was collected on Mount Dempo in southern Sumatra, probably as an epiphyte in montane forest, as most Aeschynanthus are; this is inferred, not confirmed.

No record gives an elevation. The epithet refers to Mount Dempo, which suggests a montane collection, but the altitude of the type is not known here.
