Matalea congestiflora
Almost unheard of in cultivation. Vining caudex forming member of the Apocynaceae (milkweed) family from Central America that forms a MASSIVE caudex. Star shaped yellow flower clusters form at each leaf node. Our neighbors next door at Tropiflora were the first ones to introduce this rarity into cultivation! It's still very hard to find for sale!
Exact specimen shown; one of our stock breeder plants. This plant is between 12-15 years old at least. Growing in a 3 gallon pot.
