The unusually shaped flowers (a long narrow tube with flaring lobes) emerge cream with pale pink strips, fading to pure white with a green-gold blotch in the throat. Requires excellent drainage but vigorous and easy. This species, native to southern Vietnam is now probably extinct in the wild, its only known population havng been cut down for fuel wood.
