Antigua Flora: Plumbago.
Antigua Flora:
PLUMBAGO,
Family: Plumbaginaceae
Plumbago auriculata

This is a straggling shrub with slender stems. These bear broad clusters of blue or white delicate flowers all the year round. The plant appears to like drought conditions and bright sunshine. The root was once used as a toothpaste.  There is a wild variety to be found in Antigua, P. scandens. Look for it near the boiling house at Betty’s Hope. This was once used against fevers.
