description_en: Genus of 8 species of evergreen trees and shrubs occurring in forest in the C. and S. Andes of South America. They are cultivated for their showy, tubular, waxy flowers, which split into 4 recurved and coiling, narrow, twisted lobes, and are borne in terminal and axillary racemes. The alternate, simple leaves are lance-shaped to elliptic or oblong, entire, and leathery. Grow in a woodland garden or in a sheltered site. In areas where frosts are light and infrequent, they will tolerate more open sites and are good specimen trees.
