A genus of Australian climbing plants with purple or pink flowers, commonly grown as ornamental vines in gardens.
Named after Count Hardenberg, an 18th-century German botanist and plant patron, using the Latinized naming convention for plant genera.
Hardenbergia is a beautiful example of how plants discovered by European botanists in distant lands often get names honoring European naturalists rather than indigenous names—a remnant of colonial-era botanical practice.
