Description
Plants in the genus Pandorea are woody, evergreen climbers, rarely shrubs and have imparipinnate leaves arranged in opposite pairs and do not possess tendrils. The flowers are arranged on the ends of the stems or in upper leaf axils, sometimes appearing as racemes, each flower on a pedicel. The five sepals are fused at the base forming a bell-shaped or cup-shaped tube with short lobes. The five petals are joined at the base with two "lips" and there are two pairs of two stamens. The fruit is a capsule containing many flat, winged seeds.[2][3][4][5]
Taxonomy
In 1838, Stephan Endlicher described the genus Pandorea, initially as a section of the genus Tecoma, in Édouard Spach's monograph Histoire Naturelle des Vegetaux. Phanerogames.[6][7][8] The genus name is a reference to Pandora of Greek mythology who opened a jar (Pandora's box) releasing all the evils of humanity, alluding to the many-seeded capsules produced by species of Pandorea.[9]
