Aeschynanthus praelongus

A Bornean lipstick-plant relative described by Kraenzlin in 1927 and known from very few collections. Its two GBIF records fall on Bornean mountains at about 1,350–1,500 m, which point to a cool, constantly wet submontane forest. Little else is published, so the profile follows the measured climate and the usual habits of epiphytic Aeschynanthus.

No habitat account was reachable. The measured sites are wet submontane forest, where Aeschynanthus usually grow as epiphytes on mossy trunks and branches.

The two recorded sites are at about 1,365 m and 1,514 m.
