| Mussaenda erythrophylla, a native to tropical Africa, is an ornamental shrub or tree that can reach a height of 30 ft, though in cultivation ranges from 3 to 10 feet tall. Each flower is small, but the roundish-ovate and enlarged sepals (bract) measuring 2-5 inches are the beauty of this plant. The sepal colors range from red, pink to white.
