allamanda

/aləˈmandə/ UK

Where it comes from

From the genus name Allamanda, named after Swiss-Dutch natural historian Jean-Nicolas-Sébastien Allamand.

noun allamandas

Any plant in the genus Allamanda, especially those grown in mild climates and indoors for their colorful flowers, such as Allamanda cathartica. Vivid orchids and wonderful colored lichens smoldered upon the swarthy tree-trunks and where a wandering shaft of light fell full upon the golden allamanda, the scarlet star-clusters of the tacsonia, or the rich deep blue of ipomæa, the effect was as a dream of fairyland.
