Perennial climbing vine from central Asia was collected once along a roadside bordering an orchard in Summerland (Whiting 28 @ UBC). However, this may have been planted, because it is a cultivated along fences in a number of properties in the Summerland – Peachland area in the Okanagan. Collected again along the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, Penticton, but this too may have been planted (Lomer 10948 @ UBC).
