Ancylostemon (Gesneriaceae) BSWJ7182

convexus

Our collection of this diminutive perennial, that we found growing terrestrially and on vertical mossy tree-trunks as an epiphyte. From a lofty altitude of 2100m almost at the summit of Doi Phohom-Pok, Northern Thailand in 1999. Evergreen perennial with softly hairy leaves forming tight rosettes, bearing long tubular bright yellow flowers on very long slender stems, July-Aug. Untried for hardiness, good in containers or a shady sheltered site.
