Columnea vilmoriniana

Columnea x vilmoriniana is a horticultural hybrid name (hort. ex Meunissier, Revue Horticole 1926) from French nursery breeding, not a wild species. There are no wild records, and its parentage is not documented in the sources checked, so care follows the trailing epiphytic Columnea commonly used in hybrids.
