    Rare from the mountains of Taiwan, this vigorous vine, collected by Wynn-Jones, offers its unique and wonderful fragrant red-purple flowers in 8" long pendulous racemes; flowering in May to July, later than A. quinata, its delicate looking 5-fingered leaves look pretty when this vine covers a fence or trellis.
