A species I have just bought from Lower Kenneggy Nursery. Plants of the World Online says: "The native range of this species is Arunachal Pradesh. It is an epiphytic shrub and grows primarily in the subtropical biome." Bihrmann's Caudiciforms says: "This member of the Ericaceae family was given this name by Hermann Otto Sleumer in 1940. It is found in Bhutan, China, India and Tibet, growing as an epiphyte with quite some water and some sun from 1200-1500 metres. The caudex might grow to fifteen centimetres in diameter, the entire plant might grow to 35 centimetres in height. The flowers are yellow." On 29th March 2026, yamina Rare Plants (Australia) wrote on Facebook: "Agapetes flava … An extraordinary arching evergreen epiphyte , with some water need in summer & grows at altitudes of 12-1500 metres in its native Bhutan, China, India and Tibet … Beautiful yellow hanging trumpet flowers in autumn … Uniquely with age caudex might grow to 15cm in diameter, plant perhaps 40-60 cm tall … Lends itself to pot culture especially hanging baskets or on a raised bank , it’s arching branches elegantly willowing downward … Endemic Arunachal Pradesh … Ericaceae family." |
