Comments:
Climbing, clinging vine that has large yellow flowers that remind one of allamanda. It is very, very easy to grow, but terribly difficult to eradicate from the garden and some consider it an invasive pest. It is evergreen, however it may loose leaves when freezes occur. Has long brown seed pods that resemble those of a bean or pea.
