This member of the Polygonaceae
family was described by
Hooker & Arn. in 1838. It was originally found in Nayarit, Mexico,
but can now be found in most warm areas like Samoa, Hawaii, Papau
New Guinea, Tonga, Galapagos and others. It grows in most kinds of
soil, but prefers a well drained soil. It needs some water and lots
of sun. The vines will grow for up to ten meters, the flowers are
from white over reddish to pink. |
