Parsonsia eucalyptophylla, whose common names are gargaloo and monkey vine, is a woody vine in the family Apocynaceae. [1] [2] It is native to the east coast states of Australia. [2]
Parsonsia eucalyptophylla is a tall woody climber; the young plants climb by clinging roots, and the older plants using twining stems. [2] It has watery rather than milky sap. The yellow flowers appear from spring to autumn. [2] The leaves are linear to lanceolate and 8–24 cm long and 0.5–2 cm wide, with lower surface paler than the upper. [2]
Parsonsia eucalyptophylla is native to New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria in Australia, and is widespread in woodland and scrub in inland areas. [2]
Parsonsia eucalyptophylla was first described in 1861, by Ferdinand von Mueller, [3] and later redescribed, in 1868, as Lyonsia eucalyptifolia by Bentham. [4] Its currently accepted name is Parsonsia eucalyptophylla. [1]
