Columnea florida is an epiphytic plant of the family Gesneriaceae and native to the neotropics.
It was described in 1937 by C. V.
Morton.
[1] It is also known as Dalbergaria florida.
As the flowers begin to develop, the leaves nearest to the infloresences develop a pair of dime-size red spots near the far end of each leaf to guide hummingbirds to the flowers,[2] thus belatedly becoming bracts.
