Aeschynanthus griffithii

Aeschynanthus griffithii is a lipstick-vine gesneriad described by Robert Brown in 1839, recorded from Myanmar (Mandalay, Taninthayi) and the South Andaman Islands. No wild records have coordinates, so its conditions are inferred from a representative Myanmar site and from lowland epiphytic Aeschynanthus in general.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte on trees in humid lowland to submontane forest, like most Aeschynanthus of mainland Southeast Asia. Its species-specific habitat is not documented in sources we could reach.

No recorded elevations. The climate site used is at about 460 m in central Myanmar.
