Stephanotis vincaeflora (Stephanotis vincaeflora)
Description
Vinca plants are subshrubs or herbaceous, and have slender trailing stems 1-2 m (3.3-6.6 ft) long but not growing more than 20-70 cm (8-27.5 in) above ground; the stems frequently take root where they touch the ground, enabling the plant to spread widely. The leaves are opposite, simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 1-9 cm (0.5-3.5 in) long and 0.5-6 cm (0.20-2.36 in) broad; they are evergreen in four species, but deciduous in the herbaceous V. herbacea, which dies back to the root system in winter
