Species: Quisqualis indica
Family: COMBRETACEAE
Two red flowers from an inflorescence of Rangoon Creeper, Quisqualis indica. These flowers will gradually turn white as they age. The Latin genus name Quisqualis means "What is that?" or "This and that" and probably refers to the confusion it originally caused taxonomists when trying to classify it.
