distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of 6 species of woody-stemmed, evergreen, twining climbers, rarely shrubs, related to Tecomaria and Tecoma. They are found in rainforest from sea level to 3,000m (10,000ft) in Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Caledonia, and are grown for their attractive flowers and foliage. Leaves are opposite or whorled, pinnate, and mid-or dark green, each with up to 7 pairs of leaflets. The fragrant, tubular flowers, each with 5 broad, spreading, petal lobes, the upper 2 smaller than the lower 3, are borne usually in terminal, cyme-like panicles or racemes. In mild climates, they are suitable for a pergola or arch, and look especially effective cascading from a tree. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse.

hardiness_en: Frost tender; but P. jasminoides and P. pandorana may survive temperatures around 0°C (32°F) for short periods, if the wood has been well-ripened in summer.
