Rhodochiton, Purple Bell Vine
Rhodochiton, Purple Bell Vine. From Jason Reeves, vF 8-19-22. Rhodochiton atrosanguineus is a herbaceous perennial vine native to Mexico. It has been cultivated as an ornamental plant since at least 1836. Although the specific epithet is sometimes spelt atrosanguineum, chiton in Greek is masculine, so the ending is correctly -us.
