Locally endemic species just brought into cultivation. It is a large growing plant, with spectacular clusters of 3" long, two-tone red and white flowers emerging from very slender calyx. Leaves are heavily succulent and leathery, with its hallmark black petioles. Bloom clusters may emerge repeatedly from the same spur-like growth, in a manner not unlike some Hoyas.
It can form a 3 ft. wide clump in a few years. Care is similar to other Aeschynanthus and Columnea. Best suit for basket cultures.
Offered are cutting-grown plants, established in 3" pot
