This gets complicated because some Pandorea are now Podranea, an anagram.
Pandorea riscaliana is in South America. Podranea riscaliana of South
Africa is listed by the RHS with the common name pink trumpet vine.
Podranea brycei of Zimbabwe is listed as Queen of Sheba or Zimbabwe creeper
and the latter name is given even in the book Rhodesian Wild Flowers
published in 1953. At that time Zimbabwe seems to have been the name of a
district within Rhodesia.

Both pandorea riscolina and Pandorea zbrycie are called "Zimbabwe
creeper" at various internet sites. Are they the same ? (Since
Zimbabwe has not existed as a country for a very long time, I wonder
what they used to be called).
