Aeschynanthus ligustrinus

Aeschynanthus ligustrinus is an epiphytic gesneriad described by Schlechter from New Guinea. It is known from a handful of specimens, including one from montane forest in the Eipomek valley and one from the Sepik region. Nothing specific is known about its care, so grow it like other montane New Guinea Aeschynanthus: bright shade, intermediate temperatures, high humidity.
