This member of the Bignoniaceae family was given this name by
Karl Moritz Schumann in 1891. It is found
in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, growing in a well drained soil with
quite some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to
eight
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to five metres in
height. The
flowers are white to pale pink with deep maroon throat.
The genera is named after
Pandora's box, as the botanist was reminded of it, when he saw the
seed pod. The species name means 'looking like Jasmine'. |
