GENUS OVERVIEW / Combretum
Combretum, the bushwillows or combretums, make up the type genus of the family Combretaceae. The genus comprises about 272 species of trees and shrubs, most of which are native to tropical and southern Africa, about 5 to Madagascar, but there are others that are native to tropical Asia, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, Australia, and tropical America.
Around 17 species in the genus Quisqualis are very similar to Combretum and are now classified as species of the genus.
Though somewhat reminiscent of willows (Salix) in their habitus, they are not particularly close relatives of these.
This source describes the genus, not this particular species or selection. Species-specific characteristics and growing requirements are not confirmed.
