Cyrilla racemiflora

#767 They called me Cyrilla racemiflora, also known as Cyrilla perrottetii, Cyrilla antillana var. perrottetii, and Stachyanthemum schomburgkii. I pay homage to the male botanists Perrottet (I couldn’t find his records), and Moritz Richard Schomburgk. They first catalogued me in 1767.
