Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphyte (possibly also on rocks) in seasonal forest of western Thailand; habitat details are not available in accessible sources. Aeschynanthus are epiphytic gesneriads of wet tropical and subtropical Asian forest, rooting in moss and humus on branches and trunks.

The single record maps to about 110 m, but that may be a coarse locality; forested hills nearby are higher.
