History, meaning of the name
Pandorea The name refers to the Greek mythological figure Pandora and her box. The plant’s capsule contains many seeds that are released when the pod opens, similar to Pandora opening her box and releasing evil spirits. Jasminoides The name comes from the Latin word jasminum, which means “jasmine”, and the Greek word oides, which means “resembling”. This refers to the plant’s resemblance to the genus Jasminum.
