caption_attribution_description: Brunfelsia bonodora Brunfelsias (often incorrectly spelt Brunsfelsia) are evergreen shrubs from tropical America. The flowers are very sweetly perfumed and appear in spring. When they first open they are a violet colour, fading to lavender blue and then white, with the three colours present on the bush at the same time. Location: my backyard garden, Brisbane&#160;:)
context_page_description: Brunfelsia latifolia, commonly known as yesterday-today-tomorrow and kiss me quick, is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family. Endemic to Brazil, it is an evergreen shrub that becomes semi-deciduous in cooler areas and grows up to 1.8 meters in height.
context_section_description: Brunfelsia latifolia is a 0.2 to 1 m high shrub with strongly branched growth. The branches spring close to the base, are often zigzag-like shaped and covered with leaves. The bark is thin, light brown to greyish. The young branches are light brown, the distance between the internodes is about 1 cm.
  The leaves vary greatly in their shape, they are almost sessile, the petiole is only 1 to 4 mm long, glabrous and dark purple colored. The leaf blade is 4 to 9 cm long and 2.2 to 5.5 cm wide, elliptic to oblong or ovate to reverse ovate. To the front, the leaf is pointed, blunted or rounded, occasionally provided with a small tip or bulged. The leaf base is dull to wedge-shaped, rarely cut. The top of the leaf is dull or shiny dark green, the underside is dull and light green. Occasionally there are some fine trichomes along the midrib. On each side of the leaf, five to eight side veins extend from the midrib, most of which are straight.
