Aeschynanthus pedunculatus

Aeschynanthus pedunculatus is a lipstick-vine gesneriad described by D.J. Middleton in 2009 from Vietnam. Only three wild records exist, mostly from the Da Lat plateau at high elevation, so treat it as a cool-growing montane epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on its habitat. Like most Aeschynanthus it is presumably an epiphyte on mossy trunks in humid evergreen forest; this is inferred from the genus.

Two of the three records are near 1850 m on the southern Vietnamese highlands; the third is a lowland site near 125 m in central Vietnam. Climate is weighted towards the highland sites.
