description_en: Genus of about 120 species of evergreen trees, shrubs, and climbers mainly from scrub, heathland, and sandy areas of Australia, but also found in Madagascar, New Guinea, New Caledonia, and Fiji. The alternate, simple, variably shaped, sometimes stem-clasping leaves have entire, wavy, or toothed margins. The saucer- to bowl-shaped, yellow, occasionally pink or white flowers each have 5 spreading, shallowly to deeply notched petals and are borne singly or in terminal or axillary, raceme-like cymes. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse. Elsewhere, use the shrubs in a shrub border or at the base of a warm, sunny wall; train the climbers over a pergola, arch, or arbour.
