Altitude not matching.
Sepal look different from your earlier images of Aeschynanthus hookeri I still think it is A. hookeri I think look closer to images at Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. Dry opened up seed pods of Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. I guess.

Orchid for ID, Sikkim NAW-JUL16-04 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1) Kindly identify this orchid with red flowers photographed in Sikkim in May 2015. I apologise that i have only a single view which may not be enough evidence. Pl. check with images of Aeschynanthus perrottetii Of course Aeschynanthus…. Looks right to me. Not Aeschynanthus perrottetii A.DC. as sepals look different as well as no distribution (as found only in western Ghats).
Looks rather closer to Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. although image is not clear.

But better images are required for final confirmation as I could not find bract like structures at the base of the pedicel in images at Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng.

Location : Sairep
Altitude : ca. 1,500 m. Date : 11/05/2016 Habit : Epiphytic trailing shrub Habitat : Wild Thanks, …, Can you send close up of the flowers ? I’m attaching herewith another same flowers for id Aeschynanthus species so far in eFloraofindia Please check with Aeschynanthus acuminatus Wall. ex A.DC. This is also common in Manipur. I thought it might be A. perrottetii, but not sure. Thanks, …, for the Id.
I think matches with images of Aeschynanthus perrottetii rather than those of Aeschynanthus acuminatus
This looks like Aeschynanthus parviflorus although the present pic is not clear enough to be sure. In this species the style protrudes out more than the stamens. In another close species Aeschynanthus hookeri the style is shorter than the stamens. In the uppermost bunch of flowers in the pic, it does appear that the style is long-projecting out. Thanks, … I think matches with images of Aeschynanthus perrottetii rather than those of Aeschynanthus parviflorus I agree. I did not know about A. perrottetii Also not Aeschynanthus perrottetii A.DC. as sepals look different as well as no distribution (as found only in western Ghats).
It is some other species not available in efi so far. No it’s not. A different species. Need more details. May I request you for high resolution images. 2 high resolution images. Aeschynanthus sikkimensis (C. B. Clarke) Stapf ?? What are the species listed in your area?
Yes, appears close to images at Aeschynanthus parviflorus
Aeschynanthus acuminatus, A.gracilis, A.maculatus, A.manii, A.masoniae, A.parasiticus, A.parviflorus, A.sikkimensis and A.superbus are recorded in Mizoram. Keys lead me to Aeschynanthus maculatus (and matches as per GBIF specimens- specimen 1 and specimen 2), which is now a syn.of A.parviflorus as per POWO. After all it is Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. ??
MS,Oct.,2021/35 Aeschynanthus sp. for Id: 3 images. Location : Ailawng Date : 25-07-2018 Habit : Epiphytic plant Habitat : Wild Aeschynanthus sikkimensis (C.B.Clarke) Stapf ?? Yes, Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. (syn: Aeschynanthus sikkimensis (C.B.Clarke) Stapf) . An Aeschynanthus species from Manipur, blooming in July. Flowers are orange, prominently hairy on the outside.
Although cultivated, quite likely a native species, or a species from SE Asia.
Any clue to its identity?
To me appears close to images at Aeschynanthus parviflorus (D.Don) Spreng. Pl. check.
I think you are right … I hadn’t seen a close up of this species before |
