distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of up to 22 species of evergreen shrubs and trees from Malaysia, New Caledonia, and Australia. The trees usually grow in rainforest; the shrubs are found in open scrub, often along water-courses. They have alternate, simple to pinnatifid leaves and, in summer, bear axillary umbels of tubular, cream to red flowers, each with a knob-shaped stigma protruding through a split on the lower side of the tube. In frost-prone areas, use in a temperate greenhouse as foliage plants (flowering is rare in containers). In warmer areas, use as specimen plants.

hardiness_en: Frost tender, but some species may survive brief falls in temperature to around 0°C (32°F).

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Sow seed at 15-20°C (59-68°F) as soon as ripe or in spring (seedlings take about 7 years to flower). Root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in summer.
