Hi! We found this plant in the cloud forest of central Veracruz, at around 1700 meters above sea level, in riparian vegetation. We believe it belongs to the Solandra genus; however, we haven't been able to identify the species. Does anyone know it? Or would anyone like to collaborate in its identification? Greetings
The genus Solandra includes several species of tropical vines or shrubs known for their large, showy flowers. One species of particular interest is Solandra maxima, commonly known as Cup of Gold or Golden Chalice Vine. Here are some details about Solandra maxima:
When cultivating or researching a specific species, it's always important to refer to local horticultural guidelines and botanical resources to ensure proper care and understanding of any specific characteristics or requirements of the plant. Additionally, taxonomic classifications and botanical details may be subject to updates and revisions as new research emerges.
Buenos dias Miguel,
thank you for the interesting question. Could it be a "Solandra grandiflora"? The pinkish color seems quite unusual though...
Best,
Julius
