In 1912, the British botanist Stephen Troyte Dunn discovered a rare plant called the ‘Lipstick’ plant in Arunachal Pradesh. Its plant name is Aeschynanthus monetaria Dunn.

In a recent article, Krishna Savlu, an Indian botanist, mentioned that it is called a lipstick plant because it resembles a tube-like red Eskinanthas plant.
