설명

 

The species is native to Brazil (Amapa, Amazonas, Para and Rondonia), French Guyana and Peru where it lives mainly in the clearings and at the margins of the humid forests up to about 250 m of altitude.

The name of the genus is the combination of the Greek terms “παχύς” (pachys) = big and “στάχυς” (stachys) = spike, with reference to the inflorescences; the name of the species is the Latin adjective “coccineus, a, um” = scarlet, with reference to the colour of the flowers.

 

Common names: Brazilian plume, cardinal’s guard (English); carmantine rouge (French); camarão-escarlate, camarão-vermelho (Portuguese-Brazil); Rote Dickähre (German).

 

The Pachystachys coccinea (Aubl.) Nees (1847) is an evergreen, much ramified, small perennial shrub, 1-2 m tall, with leaves, on a 2-6 cm long petiole, simple, opposite, oblong or elliptic with pointed apex and entire margin, 12-25 cm long and 6-10 cm broad, of dark green colour with evident venations.

 

The inflorescence, on a 1-3 cm long peduncle, is a thick erect terminal spike, 10-22 cm long, with green imbricate ovate to lanceolate bracts, 1,5-2,5 cm long and 0,6-1 cm broad, subtending sessile hermaphroditic flowers arranged in verticils of 3-4 with campanulate penta-partite calyx, laterally compressed bilabiate tubular corolla, 3-6 cm long, scarlet, erect upper lip, concave, 2-2,5 cm long, bilobed at the apex, lower trilobed lip with curved, oblong equal lobes, and two fertile stamina; the flowers, rich of nectar, are pollinated by the hummingbirds. The fruit is a capsule containing 4 seeds.

 

It reproduces by seed and easily by apical cutting in spring in sandy loam maintained humid at the temperature of 22-24 °C.

 

Species of remarkable ornamental and landscaping value due to the showy inflorescences which stand out from the dark green foliage, cultivable in the tropical and humid subtropical climate regions where temperatures under the +10 °C are exceptional and very short lasting events. It requires an exposition in full sun or in slight shade and draining soils rich of organic substance, acidic to neutral, maintained constantly humid, but without stagnations. It well bears pruning, even if drastic, for a more compact posture and for stimulating the blooming.
