Aeschynanthus garrettii

A trailing epiphytic lipstick-plant relative described by Craib in 1913 from the high mountains of northern Thailand, recorded at 1500-2440 m. It needs cool, bright-shaded cloud-forest conditions with cold winter nights and a clear dry season, not the warm conditions suited to lowland Aeschynanthus.
