Beautiful Tropical Flowering Shrub

11 years ago

Hi everyone,
I saw this beautiful tropical flowering shrub called Pseuderantermum reticulatum in the streets of Bali. However, they don't seem to be existing anywhere in Australia, which is a shame. Does anyone know where to find them and how to get some plants, cuttings or seeds of this specie?

According to my research, theyÃ¢ÂÂre known in Southern India as Gokarna jasmine; Common names: Yellow-Vein Eranthemum, Golden Pseuderanthemum, Golden Net-bush; and I 'd love to have it growing in my garden.

I'd much appreciate it if anyone could help me to get hold of this plant. Thank you!

I have one and am happy to try to strike some cuttings for you - haven't done so with this plant before so can't guarantee success or how many weeks/months it may take if so but we are still having some warm days in SEQld.
LMK if interested.

Thank you so much for the follow-up Alison! I'm so glad I've finally found a hope in searching for this plant. I've also heard they're very easy to grow from cuttings, so I'd love to try it too.
Please email me if you could kindly post me a couple of cuttings. I'd love to pay you for the cuttings or send you some plants in exchange. Can't wait to see them in my home garden. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.

After reading the original description with no picture I was about to go with white crapemyrtle, too. Fluttery flowers, end of each branch, 20' tall, peeling bark... Need more pix! Description sure fits both. hortster

If you would, perhaps, share which state you were growing this in it would narrow down the options for those of us thinking 'Hmm. Maybe... Or... But where???' And could you tell us when it flowered? Spring to fall? Just one season? A little most months? Did it have a scent? What was that scent similar to, in your experience? Was it popular with hummers or butterflies at all? Or was it too shady for them? If you still have contact with neighbours from your old place, or even the people who followed you - could you get a photo for posting on the 'Name That Plant' forum?

Those old botanists were not exactly politically correct. The first Greek noun referenced in that epithet ("cyn-") has an even more unsavory aspect: it flowed into English many, many years ago in a form I will NOT wirte ANYwhere that is the most derogatory appellation for a female (human) that I know of ....

I agree with kayjones. They are commonly used as hedge shrubs in FL, kind of like azaleas here.
