This member of the Sterculiaceae*
family was described by
William Botting Hemsley in 1894. It is from
the central part of South Africa, where it
grows in open forests with lots of water and some sun. It will grow to
ten meters with a trunk 30 centimetres in diameter. The flowers are
yellow with pink dots, and the plant can be reproduced both by seeds
and cuttings.
*This family might been incorporated
in the Malvaceae
family now, as sub-family: Sterculioideae, tribe: Sterculieae. |
