	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''''Thunbergia alata''''', commonly called '''Black-eyed Susan vine''', is a herbaceous perennial climbing plant species in the [[Acanthaceae]] family. It is native to [[Eastern Africa]], and has been naturalized in other parts of the world. It is found in [[Cerrado]] [[vegetation]] of [[Brazil]] and [[Hawaii]], along with eastern [[Australia]] and the southern USA in the states of [[Texas]] and [[Florida]].<ref name=autogenerated2>[http://plants.usda.gov/java/ClassificationServlet?source=profile&symbol=THAL3&display=63 Classification \| USDA PLANTS<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It is grown as an [[ornamental plant]] in gardens and in hanging baskets. Black-eyed Susan is also a name given to another species of flowers - [[Rudbeckia]].
	~~\| name =~~ ''Thunbergia alata''
	~~\| common_names =~~ Black-eyed Susan		Depending on the conditions,''Thunbergia alata'' grows to a height of 6-8 ft. (1.8-2.4 m) in tropical zones, but much less as a container plant or as an annual. It has twinning stems with heart or arrow-shaped leaves.<ref>http://www.plantzafrica.com/planttuv/thunbergalata.htm</ref> It favours sun to partial shade and the flowers, though typically a warm orange can range through red, orange, red-orange and bright yellow with the characteristic chocolate-purple centre which inspires the common name.
