Plant ID

20 years ago

I would really love someone to ID this plant for me. I live in Cairns in north Queensland which has a humid tropical climate. This plant was grown from a cutting given to me by an elderly neighbour who was himself given a cutting in the early 1960s. He does not have a common name for this plant and despite having a large diverse tropical garden and a passion for tropical plants, I am at a loss with this one. I cannot understand why I have never seen this plant before and why it is not more popular given it's spectacular flowers and leaves and it's apparent ease to grow. I look forward to a name on this one. Take care,

Darren.
