Aeschynanthus tricolor
A Bornean lipstick plant with small red flowers striped in dark red and yellow, growing as a trailing epiphyte in lowland and hill forest. The measured climate is hot, wet and almost seasonless, so it wants steady warmth and high humidity year round.
Where it grows wild
Epiphyte on trees in lowland to hill rainforest of Borneo; specific microhabitat notes are scarce, so this follows the genus pattern of branches and trunks under a broken canopy.
Recorded from 100 to 1,219 m, median 305 m (10 records), so mostly lowland to hill forest.
