RE: Beaumontia grandiflora - Herald's Trumpet

in #beaumontia6 years ago

Thanks for the interesting plants. That's what I found out.
Beaumontia as a vine, with the help of pruning can be grown like a shrub
Kutrovye family - Apocynaceae
It grows in the mountain forests of Southeast Asia, China, India. Named after Diana Beaumont (1765-1831), the English patroness of gardening Yorkshire.
There are only 9 species in the genus. The most popular in floriculture are large-flowered Beaumontia (Beaumontia grandiflora) and Murton (Beaumontia murtonii)
Very unpretentious
At home, up to 1.5-2 m, in nature - up to 6-10 m
Very high, outdoors up to 5 m per season
Perennial plant. In folk medicine of South-East Asia, the extract of roots and leaves is used as an external remedy for the treatment of rheumatism. Of the young branches of beavertry, a super strong, pure white fiber is obtained, which is used for weaving ropes and ropes.
Milky juice was used as a poison component for poisoned arrows. Flowers have a very pleasant smell
Poisonous as many other representatives of the family kutrovyh. Contains cardiac glycoside oleandrin
