{{Inc| Vangueria (the Madagascan name of V. madagascariensis is Voa-Vanguer). Rubiaceae. Shrubs or trees, sometimes spiny or somewhat climbing in habit, adapted to the warmhouse and may be hardy in the extreme southern United States. Leaves opposite or rarely pseudo-verticillate in 4's, oval: fls. small, white or greenish, in axillary clusters; calyx 5- or 4-lobed, lobes deciduous or rarely persistent; corolla hairy or not outside, usually furnished inside with a ring of deflexed pilose hairs; lobes spreading or reflexed; stamens 5, rarely 4; disk fleshy or depressed; ovary 5-3-celled; ovules solitary: fr. drupaceous; pyrenes 5-3 in number or putamen 5-3-celled.—About 70 species, tropical and subtropical regions of the world, Austral. excepted. Considered a section of Epimedium by Prantl, in Engler & Prantl, Pflanzenreich III. 2. The voa vanga of Madagascar is a tropical fruit that has been recommended by the American Pomological Society as worthy of cultivation in southern Florida. The fruit is imperfectly described in horticultural writings. It is said to be a delicious berry 3/4 inch thick, but in Mauritius it becomes 1 1/2 inches thick. It is a globose drupe, shaped something like an apple and contains five large "stones" or bony pyrenes. The plant is a shrub 10 to 15 feet high. The species is widely spread in the tropics of the Old World. It was introduced to American horticulture by A. I. Bidwell, of Orlando, Florida. In 1887, the late H. E. Van Deman reported that the shrub grew exceedingly well, sprouting readily from the roots when frozen down. It grows readily from imported seeds. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
