Rhynchoglossum sp.
Spotted at the entrance of Alab Cave, Baggao, Cagayan.
Shady stream bed in a tropical rain forest
Etymology: From the Greek ρυνχος, rhynchos = beak; and γλωσσα, glōssa = tongue. The second part of the name clearly alludes to the broad, tongue-like lower lip of the corolla, the first part perhaps to the narrow corolla tube or to the pointed petal tips. Photos by Jerry Rendon
