In many characters this species resembles Aeschynanthus glomeriflorus 
Kranzl., but the leaves are larger, the flowers are entirely glabrous, and, 
so far as I could determine from the four examined, hermaphrodite. The 
material is not very copious and for that reason the inflorescence has not 
been discussed in the description. In the specimen examined the flowers 
are in the axils of the ultimate leaves, but this may not always be the case.

Flores semper bini ut videtur semper terminales, pedunculi 1 cm

Negros, Canlaon Volcano, Merrill 70U7, in the mossy forest, altitude 
about 1200 m. 
A plant distinguished from other similar ones in the same group by 
its Aliform stems, all parts being very slender. The calyx in form and 
size is rather near to that of A. obconica C. B. Clarke and A. Mans C. B.
