description_en: Genus of 9 species of evergreen climbers occurring in temperate and tropical forest and scrub in China and from India to Vietnam. They are cultivated for their foliage and attractive, scented flowers. The leaves are opposite, entire, and usually oblong-ovate to ovate. The large, trumpet-shaped or bell-shaped flowers are produced in small, terminal and axillary corymbs, from late spring to summer. In frost-prone regions, grow beaumontias in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In frost-free regions, train them over a pergola or arbour, against a house wall, or through a tree.
