Lophospermum breedlovei is a climbing or scrambling perennial herb from Chiapas, Mexico, grown mainly by enthusiasts of this genus. It is a less common relative of the garden climbers in the genus, so care is based on the group's general needs.
Lophospermum breedlovei is a climbing or scrambling herbaceous perennial native only to the state of Chiapas in Mexico. It has tubular flowers, white at the base and dark purple elsewhere. It was first described by Wayne J. Elisens in 1985. The epithet breedlovei commemorates Dennis E. Breedlove, described as a "prolific plant collector and authority on the flora of Chiapas".
