Correa is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae, with bell-shaped flowers, native mainly to eastern Australia. There are about 11 species in the genus and 26 subspecies. Natural hybridisation between the species makes taxonomic relationships within this genus problematic.
There are also hundreds of named cultivars, many of which have been registered with the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority (ACRA). The genus Correa is named after the Portuguese botanist José Correia da Serra (1750–1823), known as Abbé Correa.

Lovely flowers, they almost remind me of trumpet vine flowers. Do hummingbirds visit these?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was also trumpet vine.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers look very much like pomegranates when young.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt!!
