Hello again: This plant has only just bloomed in the 'warm room' at the
University greenhouse...a member of the rubiaceae family and hence related
to gardenias. Prominent bright red flower buds open salmon pink which
contrasts well against deep green shiney leaves. It's about 2 ft. high -
can't find out much about it except that it can be propogated from softwood
cuttings. Does anyone know where it comes from and something about its
'reputation'. Thanks. Fran
