Plantae
|
This is a family of around 650 species in 120 genera, found mainly in the tropics, particularly South America. Most species are woody, often climbing. They are grown for their timber and as ornamental plants, and include many plants frequently seen by travellers in tropical regions, as many species are used as street trees or in hotel gardens. Trees include African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata), Jacaranda ovalifolia, the Tabebuias and Catalpas, and the climbers Pyrostegia venusta, Pandorea and Tecomaria. One or two may be grown outside in the milder parts of Britain, including Campsis radicans and Eccremocarpus scaber. The family also includes the well-known Calabash (Crescentia), used as a water container in many tropical areas.
