Description

Mandevilla est un genre de plantes vivaces tropicales ou subtropicales de la famille des Apocynaceae, originaires d'Amérique du Sud, dont certaines espèces sont cultivées comme plantes ornementales pour leurs fleurs. Ces espèces sont appelées « mandévillas », « mandévilléas » ou « dipladénias » du nom d'un genre, Dipladenia, maintenant considéré comme synonyme de Mandevilla. Ce genre doit son nom à un diplomate britannique en Argentine et amateur de jardins, Henry Mandeville (1773-1861) qui rapporta un premier exemplaire de Mandevilla laxa (espèce nommée alors Echites laxus) en Angleterre. Mandevilla is a genus of tropical or subtropical perennials of the Apocynaceae family, native to South America, some of whose species are grown as ornamental plants for their flowers. These species are called "mandévillas", "mandévilléas" or "dipladénias" by the name of a genus, Dipladenia, now considered synonymous with Mandevilla. This genus owes its name to a British diplomat in Argentina and garden lover, Henry Mandeville (1773-1861) who brought a first copy of Mandevilla laxa (then called Echites laxus) to England.
