Rivina - PictureThis

Rivina

Rivina are flowering herbs or subshrubs. They are native to tropical and subtropical America but have been introduced into other tropical regions as well, mostly due to the fact that they are grown as ornamentals in warm parts of the world. Their Latin name, Rivina, was given in honor of the 17th and 18th-century German botanist Augustus Quirinus Rivinus.
