01Narrative

Aeschynanthus fulgensWallich N (1839) Cyrtandreae: 115. is an Asian species of plants in the family Gesneriaceae and tribe Trichosporeae, with no subspecies listed in the Catalogue of Life. A common name for this and similar species in the genus is "lipstick vine"; its name in Vietnamese is má dào Everard. The plant is a trailing epiphyte, with orange-red flowers approximately 70 mm long and slightly pubescent.Phạm Hoàng Hộ (2003) Cây Cỏ Việt Nam: an Illustrated Flora of Vietnam vol. III (entry: 7751 as A. evrardii) publ. Nhà Xuẩt Bản Trẻ, HCMC, VN.

05DNA & barcoding2 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Aeschynanthus fulgens has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA3 detections

Where the DNA of Aeschynanthus fulgens was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
