ventii see Dactylicapnos

We encountered this remarkable climbing species in the mountain forests of the Singalila Ridge Northern India. Where it grew to only 3m tall, with its own distinctly bronzy tinted foliage born on bright reddish tendrilled stems. Bearing generous clusters of orange-suffused yellow locket-flowers produced through the summer into autumn, followed by distinct decorative inflated reddish beaked seed pods. Easily grown in well drained fertile soil in sun or part shade. Syn. Dactylicapnos
