Columnea rosea, Gesneriaceae
These bizarre velvety red segments caught my attention. It also has red-purple underneath the leaves. This plant was growing in deep shade on one of the trails at Montezuma Rainforest Lodge, Tatamá National Park, near 1,460 m elevation. This habitat is either wet or sometimes even wetter with more rain.
