'''''Saritaea magnifica''''' The single species in this genus, which belongs to the trumpet-vine family, native to [[Colombia]] and [[Equador]]. The stems are almost round in cross-section, and are marked with longitudinal stripes. The 10 cm leaves have 2 leaflets and a further 2 leaflet-like appendages at the base of the leaf stalk, plus a tendril at the tip. The leaves are smooth and leathery. The plant is a very spectacular flowering, evergreen tropical climber. The large heads of showy rosy mauve to purple coloured, bell-shaped flowers 8 cm long with hairy yellow throat, borne at the end of the branches often display all year-round . When in flower it is regarded as one of the outstanding climbers of the world. Their nectar is collected by the male bees of the tropical genus ''[[Euglossa]]'', which pollinate the flowers by brushing against the pollen and transferring it. The fruit is a long flattened capsule containing 2-winged seeds. {{Inc| Bignonia magnifica, Bull.
