Dombeya wallichii
Dombeya wallichii is a flowering shrub of the family Malvaceae known by the common names pinkball, pink ball tree, and tropical hydrangea.
Dombeya wallichii is grown widely as a garden plant.
This species can be crossed with Dombeya burgessiae to produce the hybrid Dombeya × cayeuxii.
It is native to eastern Madagascar. Its natural distribution isn't well understood, but wild specimens were collected from two coastal streamside locations on the eastern coast of Madagascar – at Antalaha on the northeastern coast, and at Mandena on the southeastern coast.
