Native to Australia, this twining or climbing shrub is widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales, where it thrives in warm, humid conditions and lush forest habitats. The plant is known for its clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers that are usually white or creamy yellow, and sometimes tinged with hints of green, with each flower displaying a tubular base and radiating petals. It has become popular as a garden plant in various regions for its robust growth habit and fragrant blooms, which are particularly noticeable in the evening.
