Aeschynanthus marginatus

A Sumatran Aeschynanthus described by Ridley in 1917 and without georeferenced wild records. It was published in the journal volume that reported Ridley's Korinchi (Kerinci) expedition, which hints at a montane origin, but that is not confirmed; the targets below are a hedged estimate.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte in Sumatran rainforest; the elevation is not documented in accessible sources. Aeschynanthus are epiphytic gesneriads of wet tropical and subtropical Asian forest, rooting in moss and humus on branches and trunks.

Unknown: no wild records carry an elevation.
