Aeschynanthus tengchungensis

Aeschynanthus tengchungensis is a lipstick-vine from the Tengchong and Gaoligong area of western Yunnan and adjacent Myanmar, recorded mostly around 2,000 m. It lives with a monsoon climate: warm, wet summers and a cool, dry winter with nights near freezing, so it needs a real winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Records come from subtropical to warm-temperate montane forest. Like most Aeschynanthus it is probably an epiphyte, sometimes on rocks; this is generalised from the genus.

Recorded at 1,068–2,660 m, median about 2,050 m (16 records).
