| 説明 | Common name: Bush Clock Vine, King's MantleBotanical name: Thunbergia erecta (syn. Meyenia erecta)- [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (ee-RECK-tuh) meaning erect, upright ]Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family)- [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ]Origin: Tropical Africa Blue flowers resembling morning glory. Several of the best-known Thunbergia species are climbers, but this native of tropical Africa is a sprawling shrub, very useful in mixed beds or as a low hedge. It has attractive, small, dark green leaves and tubular flowers which in the most common form are rich purple with a yellow throat; there is also a white-flowering form, which seems to have smaller leaves and is somewhat less robust. T. erecta responds well to regular pruning and can be shaped into a very bushy shrub, though this inhibits blooming. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil but will bloom in partial shade. Propagation is by means of cuttings.Courtesy:- Flowers of India- Dave's Garden- Top TropicalsNote: Identification attempted; may not be accurate. |
