Odontonema fuchsioides

Endemic to northern coastal Colombia, this subshrub has spreading stems and smooth, oblong to lance-shaped leaves with slightly wavy margins. Slender terminal flower clusters reach about 5.5 inches long, with two flowers at each node. The red, bottle-shaped corollas grow to about one inch long and bear fine hairs on their outer surfaces. It grows in wet tropical habitats. Photographed in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.
