Rhodochiton hintonii is a climbing or sprawling herbaceous perennial native to the state of Guerrero in Mexico. It has dangling flowers, with a bell-shaped calyx and dark purple petals forming a tube. Unlike the better known Rhodochiton atrosanguineus, the petal tube is asymmetrical with two "lips".[2]
The species was first described by Wayne J. Elisens in 1985. The specific epithet hintonii commemorates G.B. Hinton, described as a "pioneer plant collector in Mexico".[2] It was transferred from the genus Lophospermum to Rhodochiton by David A. Sutton in 1988.[1]
