Description en: Genus of about 100 species of evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs found in a variety of habitats, from swamp margins to thickets and rainforest, in Central and South America, and the West Indies. They are grown mainly for their foliage, although flowers may form once plants reach about 3m (10ft) tall. They have mostly opposite, long-stalked, simple or fully divided, 3- to 7-palmate leaves, with the central leaflet longer than the others. The 3- to 5-lobed, tubular to bell-shaped flowers are produced in showy, terminal panicles, usually in spring. Where temperatures fall below 8-15°C (46-59°F), grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, grow the larger species as specimens, the shrubby ones in a border.
