Mandevilla × amabilis is a
family Apocynaceae.[1] It was described in 1974 in the journal Baileya.[2] Also known as Alice du Pont.[3]
Description
Evergreen climbing plant with opposite leaves of thick, rugose texture, with prominent venation. Flowers are pink with a yellow throat.[2]
Range
The species has no natural range, having originated in cultivation in the mid-19th century. It is thought to be a hybrid between Mandevilla splendens and another, unknown species.[4] Conversely, one source[5] says that it is a natural hybrid occurring in Brazil.
Taxonomy
In a molecular analysis, M. × amabilis forms a sister clade to a complex that includes the natural species M. boliviensis and the Sundaville hybrids.[5]
