Aeschynanthus madulidii

A little-known lipstick plant described in 2001 from montane forest on the path to Thumb Peak in Palawan, at 850–1,000 m. Nothing is published on its ecology beyond the collection data, so grow it like other warm, intermediate Philippine Aeschynanthus in bright shade and high humidity.
