-----------

*Portlandia coccinea* grow as evergreen shrubs or treelets 2\.5–5 m in height, with pyramidal architecture. Their branches are very thin and brittle with a pale complexion. Leaves are oval, waxy, and dark green in color. They have stipules that are usually free or narrowly connected to the base. The plants flower twice a year, once from March to October, June to August, and fruit between July and October. The inflorescence is a reduced cyme (determinate), with 1–3 trumpet shaped flowers at each node. Stigmas and anthers of each flower project just beyond the corolla. Colors range from dark pink and deep crimson to white (hybrids) and are 6–8\.5 cm in length. Flowers are followed by woody capsules containing the seeds.5
