Mansoa alliacea
Mansoa alliacea, or garlic vine, is a species of tropical liana in the family Bignoniaceae. It is native to Northern South America, and has spread to Central America and Brasil. Among the mestizos of the Amazon rainforest it is known as ajo sacha, a Spanish-Quechua name that means "forest garlic" or "wild garlic".
Mansoa alliacea has been exported overseas, and grows in the favourable climates of Puerto Rico, Southern Africa, Thailand and India. It is cultivated in the West Indies.
