Aeschynanthus parviflorus

Aeschynanthus parviflorus is a widespread lipstick-vine gesneriad from the Himalaya to Thailand and Vietnam, first described by D. Don. It grows mostly around 1200–1900 m in monsoon forest with a cool, dry winter, so it wants cooler nights than the common lowland lipstick plants.
