Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Apocynaceae

A family of trees, shrubs and twining climbers, mainly from tropical and sub-tropical regions.  The family world-wide consists of some 180 genera and 1500 species [FNSW].  Although some species have medicinal uses those at Camden Park were grown for their ornamental value.  A number of varieties of Nerium oleander are well established in the gardens and Vinca major is naturalised in shrubberies.
