Golden Angel's Trumpet is a perennial woody shrub-like
tree, native to the highlands of South America, and can grow up to 9 m
tall. The plant has long thin oval shaped leaves which can grow up to
40 cm long and 15 cm wide. Flowers are spectacular, golden yellow
trumpets up to 23 cm long, narrow and trumpet shaped. Flowers are noted
for their strong fragrance and large dark brown to black seeds. Golden
Angel's Trumpet is endemic to Ecuador, and is now believed to be
extinct in the wild. It is, however, widely cultivated as a garden
plant.
