There are many species of Aeschynanthus, many of which have long, trailing stems and bright flowers. The large, fleshy, dark green leaves are up to 10 cm (4 in) long and 4 cm wide and are arranged in groups along the stems. The flowers can be as long as 10 cm (4 in) and grow in clusters that usually consist of 6–20 flowers. Most of the time they are shaded in different colors, from orange–yellow in the lower area to orange–red at the tip with a blotched red inside and a yellow streaked throat.
