/rɪŋkəˈspɔːrəm/

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymon: Latin Rhynchospermum.

Etymology: Alteration of scientific Latin Rhynchospermum, former name for the genus Trachelospermum (1827 or earlier; < rhyncho- rhyncho- comb. form + -spermum -sperm comb. form), apparently by confusion with scientific Latin Rhynchospora, genus name of an unrelated plant ( M. H. Vahl Enumeratio plantarum (1805) II. 229) ( < rhyncho- rhyncho- comb. form + spora seed (see spore n.)), with the spelling of the first element representing a colloquial pronunciation of rhyncho- comb. form.

Australian. rare.

A climbing plant with white flowers, grown for ornament; perhaps a plant of the genus Trachelospermum (formerly Rhynchospermum) (family Apocynaceae), comprising evergreen climbing plants with white or yellowish white flowers, native to eastern and southern Asia, and widely cultivated elsewhere.In botany, Rhynchospora is a genus of sedges with grass-like leaves and long involucral bracts at the base of the inflorescence.
