Taxonomic status Accepted
Occurrence status Extinct

Naturalised Qld. Native to South America. Historical collections of this species have been made along the lower Snowy River near Orbost in around 1891. However, the absence of any recent records of this species suggests that it has not persisted at this site.

Diagnostic features are given in the description of the genus. See Tarenayaprofile.

Widely cultivated for its attractive flowers.
