Pterospermum (Greek, wing seed; referring to the fact that the seeds are winged). Sterculiaceae. Scaly or stellate-tomentose trees or shrubs, suitable for the warmhouse and outdoors in the southern part of the country.
Leaves 2-ranked, leathery, simple or lobed: infl. 1-3 axillary and terminal peduncles, 1- or few-fld. ; fls. often elongated; calyx tubular, 5 more or less connate sepals; petals 5, deciduous with the calyx; staminal column short, bearing opposite the sepals 3 linear 2-celled anthers between each part of 5 anti-petalous ligulate staminoides; ovary inserted within the top of the staminal column : caps, woody or coriaceous, terete or 5-angled.—About 25 species, confined to Trop. Asia. Pterospermums are said to need considerable warmth, and perfect drainage is most essential. They grow best in a mixture of sandy, fibry loam and lumpy peat. Prop, by cuttings of half-ripened side shoots, cut close to the st.
