Prestonia quinquangularis is a rare, tropical woody vine belonging to the Apocynaceae family, native to Central and South America, particularly in Panama and Costa Rica. Known for its five-angled stems (hence the name quinquangularis) and glossy, elongated green leaves, this climbing species develops a graceful, architectural form that lends a jungle feel to interior or conservatory spaces.
FLOWER DETAILS
Produces clusters of small, creamy-white to yellowish tubular flowers with a mild, sweet fragrance. The blossoms resemble miniature Hoya or Frangipani blooms, adding a subtle exotic charm to its lush green canopy. Flowering typically occurs in warm, bright conditions.
