Wikipedia
moth plant
Araujia sericifera is a perennial vining plant in the genus Araujia, of the family Apocynaceae. The species was described in 1817 by the Portuguese botanist Félix de Avelar Brotero. The synonym Araujia hortorum is in more frequent use in New Zealand. Its common names include moth plant, white bladderflower, common moth vine, cruel vine, and false choko. Its attractive and abundant fragrant flowering make it a specimen worth cultivating. Its strong robustness combined with high seed production can make it invasive in certain environments, but not in France due to its sensitivity to frost.

moth plant
Moth plant, scientifically known as Araujia sericifera, is a perennial climbing vine native to South America. It's often considered as an invasive species due to its rapid growth and ability to smother native vegetation. The plant has large, glossy leaves and produces distinctive white, pink or yellow flowers that resemble moths, hence the name. It also produces large, choko-like fruit that contains numerous seeds. The plant has the ability to self-pollinate and can even produce seeds when grown in isolation. Its sap is a known irritant and can cause harm if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes.
