Summary
| Description |
English: Strophanthus preussii. Common name: Corkscrew Flower.
This is a semi-evergreen tender vine from tropical central and western African, and prefers to be grown under full sun. The flowers have 5 curled petals that are a very light pink which age to a creamy light-yellow with a reddish-brown base. The tips of the petals become narrowed and elongated, forming twisting, sticky strings that dangles down from the flower. When the stems are broken, a toxic milky latex oozes out. Hunters would lace their arrow tips with it to stun prey. This milky latex of the stems and leaves can cause skin irritations in humans. |
