Aeschynanthus dischidioides

Aeschynanthus dischidioides is a Peninsular Malaysian endemic first described by Ridley and transferred by Middleton in 2007. The epithet compares it to Dischidia, suggesting small, rounded, rather fleshy leaves on creeping stems. The records come from the Main Range mountains (about 400–1700 m), so it is best grown cool-intermediate, humid and bright-shaded.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic subshrub or trailing climber on trunks and branches in wet forest, like almost all Aeschynanthus. The Dischidia-like epithet suggests a creeping, small-leaved habit on mossy branches.

Records at about 430, 1170 and 1680 m.
