A genus of South American vining plants with fragrant flowers and milky sap, sometimes grown as ornamental plants.
Named after a South American source or person, likely from Portuguese or Spanish origins in Brazil or nearby regions. The genus was formally described by botanists studying South American flora.
Araujia plants are sometimes called 'moth plant' because their star-shaped flowers attract night-flying moths, and they produce remarkable spiral seed pods that can entangle insects—they're basically plant insect-traps!
