Remarks: Info from https://www.iplantz.com Needle Flower or Perfume Tree is a small flowering tree native to tropical America, its natural range extending from the island of Cuba, through southern Mexico and Central America to South America. It is fast-growing and reaches heights of up to 10 m (30 ft) in its natural habitat, though under garden conditions it is more typically 5 to 7 m (15 to 23 ft) tall and develops slim, straight trunk supporting a densely branched, pyramidal or rounded crown. The leaves are oval, up to 20 cm (8 in) long, dark green on top with prominent veining and with a leathery texture. They are arranged in pairs along the branchlets and remain on the tree throughout the year. The flowers are pure white, thin trumpet-shaped tubes up to 18 cm (7 in) long, borne in drooping clusters at the ends of the branches. They bloom on and off throughout the year, usually in response to rain that follows a dry period, and are at their fullest in the rainy season, which can be spring, summer or autumn in its native range. They are sweetly scented, especially in the late afternoon and at night, and attract butterflies and moths, their specialist pollinators, which with their long proboscises are able to access the nectar at the base of the flower. Fertilised flowers are followed by small round fruit up to 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. Green when young, they become orange-yellow when ripe and have aromatic, creamy-white or yellow pulp embedded with several angular seed | |
