A handsome strong growing twining vine which has an interesting history.  First discovered on Great Island in the Three Kings Group in 1945 where only one vine was found. The area had been badly damaged by goats.  Since this time this vine has naturally produced 6 other vines by layering.  Up to 1982 these plants had never been known to produce flowers or fruit or seedlings in the wild.

Natural status is Endangered.

Since material has been returned to the nursery industry it has been found to fairly readily propagate from seed, layers and cuttings and is now readily available for the home garden.

The vine produces clusters of creamy waxy flowers June/July followed by seed pods which reach 30cms in length. These mature February to May the following year.
