Flowering- august This is not orchid, seems like Aeschynanthes sp. Aeschynanthus species so far in efi If this is this is the same as in efi thread I think it is Aeschynanthus parasiticus (Roxb.) Wall., not A. parasiticus C.B.Clarke which is synonymous with A. hookeri C.B.Clarke, for the later has very shortly obtusely lobed scarlet calyx. Please check – http://www.botanicus.org/page/433392. Yes the first pic is of an Aeschynanthes but the second pic shows an Orchid fruit, a Dendrobium but cant confirm the species from this pic.

Is it A. hookerri? Thanks … for your genus identification Good morning …, your plant seems to match with A. parasiticus (syn. A. grandiflorus) – http://plantillustrations.org/species.php?id_species=25343 It is Endemic to Meghalaya Well, Aeschynanthus parasiticus Wall. Cat. 796 is a complicated identity. Check FBI, it finds its place in A. grandiflora Spreng., in A. maculata Lindl. and also A. micrantha Clarke!
Forget century old literature, check century old herbarium – http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/Aeschynanthus+parasiticus!
Forget all old things, check your Govt. website – http://www.bnh.gov.bd/plants.html I got it end of August Sorry, …, I fail to understand what you meant by “I got it end of August”. Roxburgh’s Incarvillia parasitica flowers in rainy season (vide Flora Indica, III, 112). August is monsoon… rainy season I request … to check description of Aeschynanthus macranthus (Merr.) Pellegr – http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/2?ref=tpl1 Thanks … I found it very near to the Megalay Hill adjacent to Dauke, Tamabil border of Shillong. Its seems it is prefer high altitude. In August in Bangladesh occurring heavy rain . Thank you very much …, you are really helping me learn more. I feel very uneasy when we fail to resolve one or two of your uploads.

Sharing some pictures I guess is Aeschynanthus parviflorus shot at Nagarkot Nepal on 13 August 2016 at 5500 ft. I think looks closer to images at Aeschynanthus parasiticus (Roxb.) Wall.
