Pandorea doratoxylon
Also called Spearwood Bush, Western Wonga Vine
Spearbush (Pandorea doratoxylon) is a woody climbing vine native to Australia, in the trumpet-vine family Bignoniaceae. Its care is not well documented in the sources, so it is best treated as a warm-climate climber needing sun, well-drained soil and moderate water.
Pandorea doratoxylon is a species of woody vine in the family Bignoniaceae and is endemic to Australia. The species was first formally described in 1927 by John McConnell Black who gave it the name Tecoma doratoxylon in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia. In 1937, Black changed the name to Pandorea doratoxylon.
Plants of the World Online gives the distribution of this species as "New South Wales, Queensland" and the Australian Plant Census as "WA, NT, Qld, NSW" but the name is "not current" in Western Australia and is listed as a synonym of Pandorea pandorana (Andrews) Steenis subsp. pandorana in New South Wales.
