Mascagnia macroptera, Butterfly pea vine, Yellow Orchid vine, Gallinita

Mascagnia macroptera
Family: Malpighiaceae
Butterfly pea vine, Yellow Orchid vine, Gallinita
Origin: Baja California
vine or creeper

Butterfly-shaped seeds. Repeat bloomer, attractive bright yellow. Evergreen vine that will easily train itself to a trellis or fence. If left unsupported, this plant will twine on itself to produce a mounding shrub or even a groundcover. This is fairly drought tolerant shrub, but looks much better with regular watering through the warm season.
