Gesneriads in Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat

I did not expect to see Gesneriad plants when I visited Kota Padang in early April because I stayed in the city and did not arrange any mountain hiking there. One day in the morning, I walked along the street to find my breakfast and I noted this Episcia grows freely near the ditch ...

Another day, I followed my local friend and went to his college called "Universitas Andalas". I took a short look around the plants in this college, I found a Gesneriad plant on a tree trunk, it's an Aeschynanthus species. It's a pity that there was no flower to tell what it is. Next time I will plan a trekking to see more Gesneriad plants of Sumatera.
