Evergreen climbing plant with opposite leaves of thick, rugose texture, with prominent venation. Flowers are pink with a yellow throat.

Range
The species has no natural range, having originated in cultivation in the mid-19th century. It is thought to be a hybrid between Mandevilla splendens and another, unknown species. Conversely, one source says that it is a natural hybrid occurring in Brazil.

Taxonomy
In a molecular analysis, M. × amabilis forms a sister clade to a complex that includes the natural species M. boliviensis and the Sundaville hybrids.
