Dombeya wallichii is a flowering shrub of the family Malvaceae known by the common names pinkball, pink ball tree, and tropical hydrangea.[2]
Description
The plant can grow 20[3] to 30[2] feet tall and has a spread of up to 25 feet (7.6 m). The alternately arranged leaves are heart-shaped with serrated edges. The hanging flower clusters are pink, showy,[3] and fragrant.[2]
Range and habitat
It is native to eastern Madagascar.[1] Its natural distribution isn't well understood, but wild specimens were collected from two coastal streamside locations on the eastern coast of Madagascar – at Antalaha on the northeastern coast, and at Mandena on the southeastern coast.[4]
It has been introduced by humans to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Marianas, Mauritius, southwestern Mexico, Réunion, Thailand, and the Windward Islands, where it has naturalized.[1]
Cultivation
Dombeya wallichii is grown widely as a garden plant.
This species can be crossed with Dombeya burgessiae to produce the hybrid Dombeya × cayeuxii.[2]
