Exhibited at the 2025 convention show of The Gesneriad Society, this older hybrid by Dr.Hans Wiehler can grow quite large. The bright flowers and bright red markings on the underside of the leaves make it an attractive plant.

The pendant flower on this plant is not visible in the photo above, but can be seen by clicking the link below.

There are a number of Nematanthus species and hybrids with pendant flowers, including an even older hybrid Nematanthus ‘Stoplight’ and the species N. corticola, N. crassifolius, N. fritschii and N. brasiliensis.
