Rauvolfia caffra - Quinine Tree


Rauvolfia caffra - Quinine Tree (Rauvolfia caffra - Quinine Tree)

This tropical African tree is one of my favorite large flowering trees. It grows quickly to 60ft/19m...and has large, long, and shiny leaves with huge clusters of white fragrant flowers in summer. Photo taken at San Diego Botanical Gardens on March 1, 2011.
