Gardenia
''Gardenia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Madagascar and Pacific Islands, and Australia. The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus and John Ellis after Alexander Garden (1730–1791), a Scottish-born American naturalist.

The flowers are solitary or in small clusters, white, or pale yellow, with a tubular-based corolla (botany) with 5–12 lobes (petals) from diameter. Flowering is from about mid-spring to mid-summer, and many species are strongly scented. Phytochemistry Many of the native gardenias of the Pacific Islands and elsewhere in the paleotropics possess a diverse array of natural products. Methoxylated and oxygenated flavonols, flavones, and triterpenes accumulate on the vegeta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thunbergia Gregorii
''Thunbergia gregorii'', commonly known as orange clockvine or orange trumpet vine, is a herbaceous perennial climbing plant species in the family Acanthaceae, native to East Africa and sometimes cultivated as an ornamental vine. The bright, pure all-orange flowers distinguish it from the related black-eyed Susan vine ('' Thunbergia alata''). Spencer Le Marchant Moore described the species in 1894, naming it after John Walter Gregory. Within the genus ''Thunbergia'', it is most closely related to ''T. alata'', the two being placed in the subgenus ''Parahexacentris''. The common name of clockvine relates to the vine spiralling upwards in a clockwise direction. ''Thunbergia gregorii'' is an evergreen vine that grows to 8–10 ft. tall, or if left without support can become an extensive groundcover. It looks like the related black-eyed Susan vine (''T. alata''), but without the black eye. ''Thunbergia gregorii'' is native to east Africa, and is pollinated by bees. Hardy to ...
