description_en: Genus of 12 species of evergreen shrubs and scandent climbers from scrub and forest in tropical North, Central, and South America. They have simple leaves, which may be alternate, opposite, or whorled, and are grown for their showy, usually terminal cymes of large, funnel- or trumpet-shaped flowers, each with 5 broad petal lobes. These are followed by spiny seed capsules. Where temperatures fall to 7°C (45°F), grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, grow in a border or on a wall. Contact with sap may irritate skin; all parts may cause mild stomach upset if ingested.
hardiness_en: Frost tender; A. blanchetii and A. cathartica may survive very short spells at about 0°C (32°F).
