ODONTADENIA MACRANTHA

Another plant from the Apocynaceae Family, this uncommon climber is difficult to propagate.

Its synonyms include O. grandilfora, O. speciosa, Echites macrantha and its common name is Odontadenia, similar to its genus.

This vine can grow up to about 5 m tall and when it flowers, the orange 5-petaled flowers with a deeper coloured corolla are fragrant.
