AB -<i>Aeschynanthus luteoflorus</i> (Gesneriaceae) is here described as a new species from Kalimantan, Indonesia, adding to the diversity of <i>Aeschynanthus</i> in Borneo. The species is morphologically similar in its inflorescence to <i>A. dasycalyx</i> Hallier f. but distinguished by elliptic, sometimes oblong leaves, ovate-elliptic bracteoles, and a tubular-cupuliform calyx that is brown to bright greenish-yellow. It further differs in having a bright greenish-yellow and longer corolla. The new species is also distinct from <i>A. flavidus</i> Mendum & P. Woods by its elliptic, sometimes oblong leaves, tubular-cupuliform calyx, and markedly shorter corolla, which is approximately 1.5 times the calyx length. Notes on distribution, ecology, conservation status, and comparative illustrations are provided.
