Abstract
Araujia sericifera belongs to the Asclepiadaceae family. It has twining stems up to 10 m high, and the leaves are ovate-oblong, acurate, truncate at the base and white-tomentose beneath. Cymes are few-flowered with long peduncles. The flowers which are in axillary cymes with single corola and five segments, are white and pink striped and give off a delicate fragance. Flowers are always insect pollinated. The fruit is oblong and pruinose, containing many seeds with terminal filaments. More botanical information can be attained from Cabrera and Zardini (1978), Fiori (1925) or Flora Europea, vol.III.
