Aeschynanthus linearifolius

Aeschynanthus linearifolius is a narrow-leaved lipstick-vine from the high mountains of Yunnan, Tibet, Myanmar and northeast India, recorded at 1,500–3,100 m. It is one of the coldest-growing Aeschynanthus, with near-freezing winter nights, and it needs a real cool, dry winter.
