SPECIMEN / GESNERIACEAE
Columnea consanguinea
Origin to be documented
Columnea consanguinea is a species of flowering plants in the genus Columnea. They are endemic to Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Panama. They are distinctive for possessing red translucent heart-shaped markings on their leaves that serve to attract their main pollinators - the hummingbird Heliodoxa jacula - to their more inconspicuous flowers. The species was first described by Johannes von Hanstein in 1865. It is classified under the family Gesneriaceae.
