Pandorea linearis (Bignoniaceae) is an uncommon Queensland endemic, known to occur naturally only between Paluma Range and Stannary Hills near Herberton.
Finding Pandorea linearis flowering and fruiting in the Mt Zero area was a highlight of our recent outing.
Vigorous twining stems of Pandorea linearis had spiraled their way up burnt tree trunks (photo above) and held clusters of creamy flowers high up above our heads (photo below).
Concurrently with flowers on some Pandorea linearis vines, other vines had already developed sturdy pods (photo above) and one had ripe seeds (photo below).
Pandorea linearis can of course be grown from fresh seed and it has also been successfully propagated from cuttings by some of our members.
