Petunia axillaris, the large white petunia,[1] wild white petunia or white moon petunia,[2] is an annual herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, genus Petunia.[3] It is native to temperate South America. The plant's flowers, the only white ones found in the Petunia genus, are 3 to 7 cm long.[4] The commonly-grown garden petunia is a hybrid of P. axillaris and P. integrifolia.[5]
Subspecies
P. axillaris has three subspecies: P. a. axillaris, P. a. parodii, and P. a. subandina. P. a. axillaris and P. a. parodii are found in flat parts of the Pampas. Meanwhile, P. a. subandina is found in highlands near the Andes.[4]
